Apple Watch's fall detection feature is now available to more users.

Apple Watch's hypertension alerts are now supported in over 150 countries.

Hypertension can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease. Apple reports that 1.3 billion adults worldwide have this condition, which frequently goes undiagnosed and often presents no symptoms.

The Apple Watch tracks how blood vessels react to each heartbeat using data from its optical heart sensor to provide hypertension notifications. The tool runs in the background, analyzing 30 days of data to find potential signs of high blood pressure.

If high blood pressure indicators are detected, users are notified of potential hypertension. These alerts can encourage users to take proactive measures, such as changing their lifestyle or seeking medical care.

While Apple continues to introduce tools to improve health awareness, medical guidance should still come from healthcare providers rather than a wearable device. These functionalities can encourage better habits or serve as reminders to consult a doctor, but they should supplement, not replace, professional medical advice.
