Before we start to explain this new study that is carried out at the Peter Munk Cardiac Center in Canada and whose head of study is the Canadian cardiologist Dr. Heather Ross, we have to clarify that these are only tests, Neither Apple nor this announced study mean that the Apple Watch is capable of detecting this heart condition.
The study has been published by the University Health Network (UHN) shows details about monitoring the Apple Watch remotely and the possible options that this monitoring be able to detect heart failure early.
Since the launch of Apple Watch Series 6 with its ability to detect oxygen saturation in blood, added to the constant measurements of the Apple Watch in terms of heart rate and the measurements on the mobility that these register, could be key to determine or detect this problem in the heart early.
It is possible that with all the biometric data that the Apple Watch collects, comparable, precise and exact measurements of the physical condition can be made with which to have a good base to detect some heart problems. These, together with other clock functions, could be a kind of prognostic markers and early warning signs of heart failure compared to traditional diagnoses.
It seems that the Apple Watch Series 6 will be necessary for this study that apparently could last approximately three months. During this time, it is expected to find evidence of signs for this condition among the participants and the blood oxygen sensor is, together with the rest of the parameters that the Apple Watch Series 6 collects, an essential.
