An Apple Watch with the ECG app enabled, with watchOS 7.2 installed, which may be released soon, may be able to detect atrial fibrillation even during high heart rate conditions, such as during exercise. .. Also, when Apple Fitness + is introduced, it seems that the maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) display function may be introduced.
Will the introduction of a new algorithm improve the atrial fibrillation detection function?
With the release of the final beta version of watchOS 7.2, Release Candy Date (RC), for developers, the release of the OS is expected to be imminent.
“Version 2 algorithm” was added to the document released by Apple for developers about iOS 14.3 and watchOS 7.2 beta, and as a result of analyzing the beta code, a new algorithm was added to the atrial fibrillation detection function by the electrocardiogram application. MacRumors reports that it may be introduced.
According to the media, the introduction of this new algorithm may make it possible to detect atrial fibrillation even when the heart rate is high, such as during exercise.
Is the maximum oxygen uptake display function introduced?
According to MacRumors, iOS 14.3 will introduce Apple Fitness + and will also add a Cardio Fitness feature that, in combination with the Apple Watch, will notify you when your maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) is low.
However, there is no information about Apple Fitness +’s service schedule in Japan, and it is unknown when the ECG app will be activated.
