The Apple Watch is already making its way onto consumers' wrists, recently Apple has published new information about the heart rate monitor, as we already know, the Apple Watch includes sensors that will help keep your heart at bay, this is how the heart rate monitor works of the Apple Watch, in great detail we will tell you in Actualidad iPhone.
Knowing this heart rate data, the Apple Watch is able to more accurately measure the number of calories that a person burns daily. In addition, the user can check his heart rate whenever he wants in real time. But beyond this, what we will focus on today is the hardware technology behind all these procedures. According to the information document, the Apple Watch measures the heart rate every 10 minutes and this data is stored in the Health application of iOS 8 in order to integrate it with the rest of the applications that will help us to stay in shape or control any medical aspect.
The heart rate sensor of the Apple Watch uses what is known as photoplethysmography, this technology, although difficult to pronounce, is based on a very simple fact, it emits a beam of light that when reflected with the blood (which is red) will detect the amount of blood circulating at any given time depending on the intensity of the red color. When the heart beats, this reflex will become more intense, and the applied software will be dedicated to measuring the intervals between flashes and therefore calculating the heart rate. These reflections are emitted through the LED lights that the Apple has at its bottom.
Like other heart rate reading devices, this functionality isn't perfect, but Apple cautions that how you use your Apple Watch can affect your readings. In order to provide the most accurate reading possible, Apple recommends that the watch band and case are properly adjusted to the skin as shown in this test image. Of course, other aspects of the human anatomy can affect reading as well.
In addition, Apple includes a list of details of the materials that have been used in the development of this product as well as the research carried out for it. They ensure that all materials comply with existing regulations, developing them even beyond the requirements imposed by health regulatory bodies.
