The article from CNET discusses how the Apple Watch, while not directly measuring blood pressure, can still play a significant role in monitoring and managing blood pressure through various indirect methods and third-party integrations. It explains that Apple has not yet included a built-in blood pressure sensor in its watches, but users can connect their Apple Watch to compatible blood pressure monitors via Bluetooth to log readings in the Health app. Additionally, the article mentions apps like Cardiogram and FibriCheck which analyze heart rate data to provide insights into potential cardiovascular issues. It also highlights features like the ECG app for detecting irregular heart rhythms, and how lifestyle tracking (like exercise, sleep, and stress) can influence blood pressure. The piece concludes by noting that while the Apple Watch itself doesn't measure blood pressure, its ecosystem supports a holistic approach to heart health monitoring.
