Not anytime soon. You would probably hear rumors about it since it would need to go through FDA testing. I'm guessing that with any medical type devices, these would be built into the bands and not the watch itself since Apple wouldn't likely want to take the watch itself through FDA testing.

I would be shocked if there was an integrated BP monitor in the watch itself. Again, for a medical device, like a BP monitor, it has to go through FDA testing. I think there is interest in Apple for medical applications but Tim Cook has said in the past he doesn't want the Apple Watch itself to go through FDA testing. I suspect if anything, they will eventually release bands that have this built in, but I haven't read any rumors on this.

A lack of rumors would be surprising as it would not be easy to hide a clinical trial for a medical device from the media.

Has there ever been a blood oxygen or VO2 monitor rumoured? I want that.
