Apple’s Blood Pressure Monitor Feature to Launch Next Week
Starting on September 15, 2025, Apple’s new hypertension notification feature will debut for the Watch Series 9 and later models, as well as the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and subsequent versions, with the rollout of watchOS 26, reports 24brussels.
The new hypertension notifications, revealed in a recent statement by Apple spokesperson Zaina Khachadourian, will leverage data from the watches’ existing optical heart sensors to assess how users’ blood vessels respond to heartbeats. An algorithm will analyze this data over a 30-day period and alert users if it identifies signs of elevated blood pressure.
The feature will be available in over 150 countries and regions, marking a significant step forward in wearable health technology. Apple’s announcement coincided with the unveiling of the new Apple Watch SE3, Series 11, and Ultra 3.
This health-monitoring capability underscores Apple’s commitment to enhancing user health outcomes through innovative technology. The blood pressure feature’s approval by the FDA adds a layer of credibility to its potential impact on consumer health monitoring.
