The watch itself doesn't have compatible sensors, but im sure someone will write a native app that is compatible with a bluetooth blood pressure monitor.
There is already at least one.
Sounds like a bet that you will lose--badly. The existence of the Watch does not magically change the technology required to monitor blood pressure. Whether in the doctor's office, hospital room, or in your home using a consumer blood pressure cuff, monitoring blood pressure requires an inflatable cuff couple to the ability to detect the flow of blood through your veins.I bet we see consumer BP monitoring on theWatch 2/with S2.
Exciting developments, but I think expecting it on Apple watch 2 might be bit too optimistic. Perhaps in the 3rd or 4th gen?
They could fit it in. Make it the Apple armband that is designed for learner swimmers and also measures your blood pressure.
I'm not betting my house (just a day's lunch money
) but just saying there is a very good chance. Apple is working hard on health sensor tech and I think we will also see glucose and maybe stress level measurements in the next version. Remember 3 years ago most thought an accurate finger print reader in a phone was still a few years away and then Apple came out with the 5S.Watch 2 will not be available until the fall 2016 time frame (1.5 years from launch) putting it on the holiday cycle.Thank you for the links. It should be noted that the small animal BP monitor requires an IV probe. I am not sure that many human beings are willing to walk around with the needle inserted to measure their blood pressure. For those with medical ports, however, it might be an option. The MEMS pressure sensor-based monitors may be more practical options. They appear to have the promise of the additional miniaturization required for integration into an Watch band.
Sorry but I will have to bet against that. No way the watch 2 will have the mechanics to do BP. Like I said it is a bit more complicated than most would think.I bet we see consumer BP monitoring on the
Chicken.....or at least it tasted like chicken.
Watch to measure BP.
[doublepost=1494369339][/doublepost]I was doing some research and ran across this post. I am curious, if you could find a wearable product that would track now daily, hourly, your blood pressure, heart rate, mood and energy level, as well as your blood sugar levels in the near future, would you want to learn more?
Are you advertising for something?? I can almost put a finger on what you're trying to sell...just saying.
On the other hand, if a reliable such device is available, then yes, I'd like to hear about it.
This device would be the "Holy Grail" of devices but we are a long way away. Heck, my AW hardly tracks my HR. Blood pressure is so dynamic that it changes every minute depending on if standing, sitting etc.
