markets Apple Research Healthcare Garmin track Features More than accessories: Smartwatches are now becoming health devices with medical certification

Smartwatches are getting smarter – at least, health-wise.These devices, so far largely considered lifestyle accessories with basic fitness-tracking features mostly shunned by medical practitioners, are increasingly receiving medical certifications from the Centre—making them health devices that alert users against issues such as heart rate fluctuations, sleep disorders and blood pressure anomalies.On 4 December, Apple launched hypertension tracking on its latest Apple Watch Series 11 smartwatch. While the feature does not give a direct blood pressure readout, it monitors a user’s blood oxygen, stress levels and other heart-related parameters to notify them that they may have a potential hypertension issue.The company received government approval to offer this clinical-grade feature in late November, a person aware of the development told Mint, making it only the second consumer-grade smartwatch until now to be approved by New Delhi.Hypertension implies high blood pressure, a condition that potentially damages heart tissues in the long run.
