The ECG function of the Apple Watch Series 4 is restricted for the US at the moment

This is undoubtedly one of the key and most innovative functions that are added in the new Apple Watch Series 4, the EDG function that allows the user to perform an electrocardiogram at any time and in any situation is what we call "taking off the chorra" in a function. And is that it is really difficult to fit these types of sensors into a wrist device and even after all you have to make it work and work well, something that is only available to a company like Apple.

But leaving aside the benefits of this sensor to perform ECG, the negative is that in principle It will not be available until the end of this year and for now exclusively for users in the United States. Then you will have to pass the corresponding certifications to launch the app and then we will see if it passes the filters to activate this function in Europe and the rest of the countries.

The truth is that once passed the controls required to obtain EMA or EMEA certification We have no doubt that watches with the ECG function in the crown will arrive in Europe without a problem, but you have to be patient and wait. It is curious that Apple itself does not have everything ready to launch watches with this functionality at the beginning of sales, which shows that with health issues it is difficult to pass all the necessary filters.

In any case the new Apple Watch Series 4 monitors our heart rate throughout the day at all times, so we can see the heart rate and rhythm at any time. In addition, it also warns us if the heart rate shoots up or drops to an unusual level, even if you have not noticed any anomaly and therefore it is a good device to control our heart. In short, a watch focused on health that allows us to take excellent control of our body and keeps us in shape.
