Apple Watch hypertension notifications and sleep apnea alerts, as well as AirPods Hearing Test and Hearing Aid, are now available in these new countries.
Apple’s worldwide rollout of assistive and health features continues
As spotted by MacRumors, Apple is rolling out hypertension notifications for Apple Watch users in the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam.
This feature takes into account 30-day periods of heart data collected by the Apple Watch to notify the user about a possible hypertension issue.
Apple says that while this feature won’t “detect all instances of hypertension,” it is still expected to help more than 1 million users uncover hypertension issues within the first year of availability.
Apple is also reportedly expanding Sleep Apnea alerts to Colombia. As described by Apple, this feature “can look for breathing disturbances while you’re sleeping and notify you if they show consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea.”
Finally, MacRumors says that Apple is also releasing multiple assistive AirPods features “to a long list of European countries, including the UK, Germany, Austria, Poland, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, Ireland, and Denmark.”
These features include Hearing Test, as well as Hearing Aid with automatic Conversation Boost, which are designed to help users identify hearing issues and adjust system settings and features to optimize AirPods use for their specific needs.
