Apple announced the expansion of the hypertension notifications to Apple Watch and iPhone users in Australia, Malaysia, Colombia, Indonesia, South Korea, Brazil, and Turkey.
The hypertension detection feature was introduced in September last year and it uses the health sensors on the Apple Watch and custom-designed algorithms to determine if a user seems to be regularly experiencing high blood pressure. If the feature detects hypertension over 30 days, the Apple Watch sends an alert suggesting that the user get their blood pressure frequently monitored by a doctor.
Apple says hypertension is a major risk factor for heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease, impacting 1.4 billion adults globally. Hypertension does not usually have visible symptoms, which is why it can go undiagnosed.
Apple Watch owners in the countries where Apple has introduced support can now set up hypertension alerts in the Health app. Hypertension alerts are available for the Apple Watch Series 9 and later and the Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later.

At a pre-event media interview, Shih reportedly said that ASUS will not be adding new mobile phone models in the future. He also said the company would continue to take care of existing phone users and that internal measures were still being finalized.
ASUS feels AI hardware offers more growth potential than the smartphone market. Instead of tying up its resources in phone manufacturing, it’s putting them to better use by switching to other AI devices like PCs and smart glasses.
