The National Bank Apple Watch turns on ECG detection. By detecting the frequency of electrical pulses in the heart, you can get the heart rate and know whether the heart activity is normal, slow, fast or irregular. The Bank of China Apple Watch has launched ECG testing. The following are the specific contents.
State Bank Apple Watch launches ECG detection165438+February 14 news. Today, the National Bank version of Apple Watch ushered in the system version update of WatchOS 8.3, and also ushered in a long-awaited new function, that is, ECG ECG ECG function.
Apple added ECG ECG function to Apple Watch Series 4, but the version of Bank of China was not approved until the middle of this year, and it was finally launched three years later.
What is an electrocardiogram? Electrocardiogram (also known as ECG or EKG) is a test to record the time and intensity of electrical signals that cause the heart to beat. By looking at the electrocardiogram, the doctor can deeply understand your heart rhythm and check whether there is arrhythmia.
This feature can be enabled by using Apple Watch Series 4 and newer versions of Apple Watch (except Apple Watch SE). Users need to upgrade the mobile phone version to iOS 15.2, and the watch version to WatchOS 8.3. Select the "Heart" option in the watch application, and click the mobile ECG atrial fibrillation prompt software to open it. It should be noted that you can't drive under 22 years old.
Friends who have opened the ECG function in other areas in advance don't have to worry too much. At present, the version of ECG software in China Bank is 1. For example, the version of ECG opened in China, Hongkong, Macau or abroad is version 2, and the version of ECG algorithm V 1 can only detect atrial fibrillation at normal heart rate, and V2 can also detect atrial fibrillation at high heart rate. Because some people have just finished exercise and have atrial fibrillation when their mood fluctuates greatly. V2 will be more accurate than V 1 in inferring ECG characteristics. V 1 is prone to "uncertain" results when measuring ECG, while V2 is much less.
Users who haven't turned on the ECG function should upgrade quickly!
China Bank Apple Watch opens ECG test II. The ECG function that Apple Watch users of the Bank of China have been expecting for many years is finally online. Recently, in the latest version of WatchOS 8.3 beta 4 system, Apple has opened ECG for users of Bank of China, and the upgraded users can open this function in the watch application-Heart.
Although the beta version is open, it also means that the ECG function of the official version is not far away.
According to Apple's Health Application, ECG, also known as ECG or EKG, is a test to record the time and intensity of the electrical signals that make up the heart beating. This application will check these pulses to get your heart rate and know whether the rhythm of the upper and lower chambers of the heart is regular. If it is irregular, it means atrial fibrillation.
In fact, as early as 20 18, Apple introduced the function of ECG detection on Apple Watch Series 4. However, because this function belongs to the attribute of medical devices, it is regulated. Previously, Apple failed to pass the medical device certification of the Food and Drug Administration, so it could not be used in China. Apple is still completely blocked in the watch, which makes it impossible for users of the Bank of China to use it.
According to previous reports, among the information to be collected in the Medical Device Approval Certificate (Import) issued by the State Administration of Medical Devices in June this year, Apple was impressively listed, with the registration number of SINOMACH 202 122 10223, and the approved function was electrocardiogram. After a period of adjustment, 65438+February finally appeared in the beta version of Apple watch of the Bank of China.
However, due to lack of hardware, this function cannot be implemented on Apple watch SE. Users who have upgraded the beta system can also try it. However, it is not an official version yet, so ordinary users need to be cautious when using it.
After Apple watch opens this function, it may attract the attention of some people who are concerned about health, and the sales data of Apple watch will increase to a certain extent.
National Bank Apple Watch turns on ECG detection 3 Apple has supported ECG ECG ECG function since the fourth generation of Apple Watch, but until the seventh generation of products this year, the domestic market still cannot be opened, which is a major pain point that domestic users have been eagerly awaiting.
At present, there are only a handful of smart watches that support ECG through strict certification. Take the best OPPO Watch2 as an example, the price of its ECG version is as high as 2499 yuan, which is five or six hundred yuan more expensive than the top version. If Apple Watch can fully push the ECG function, to be honest, its comprehensive experience is quite cost-effective.
Unexpected surprise. On February 8th, 65438, Apple pushed the software updates of iOS 15.2 RC preview and WatchOS 8.3 RC preview to users all over the world. Although it is not mentioned in the official update, after the actual experience of users, it is found that the Apple Watch of the Bank of China finally supports the complete ECG detection function under the new system.
It only takes two steps to successfully start the ECG test of China Bank.
The first step is to upgrade your iPhone to the preview version of iOS 15.2 RC; Step 2: Upgrade your Apple Watch to WatchOS 8.3 RC preview, thus completing the preparation for opening the ECG function of the Bank of China. Yes, it's as simple as that.
RC preview is the last test version before the official version of Apple system is updated, and the firmware is basically the same as the official version. If you don't know how to upgrade the RC preview version, it is estimated that you will receive the official version as soon as next week.
After the system is completely updated, open the "Health" App on the iPhone, and then start the ECG ECG service. After that, "software that can definitely improve ECG and atrial fibrillation" will appear on Apple Watch, and you can record ECG and check atrial fibrillation at any time in the future.
In actual measurement, the user needs to put his finger on the crown and keep it steady for 30 seconds before viewing the measurement data.
What is the use of ECG detection of smart watches?
Electrocardiogram is also called electrocardiogram or EKG. Every time a person's heart beats, it will produce electric pulses, which will make the heart contract and send blood to other parts of the body. By detecting the electrical pulse frequency of the heart, we can get the heart rate and know whether the heart activity is normal, slow, fast or irregular.
In the "health" App of iPhone, Apple made a detailed explanation. If the measurement result is "sinus rhythm", you think your heart activity is normal; If "atrial fibrillation" is displayed, it means that the heart rhythm is seriously abnormal, and you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment immediately; In addition, there are high and low heart rhythms and so on.
Although the electrocardiogram on smart watches can't be the final medical result compared with professional medical equipment, it can still give us great help and early warning in daily life. Moreover, our country has strict requirements for the ECG function certification of watches, and they must pass before they can be used.
In June this year, Apple's mobile ECG atrial fibrillation enhancement software successfully passed the medical device approval certificate of the State Medical Products Administration, so it can support the ECG function of the Bank of China for the first time in the iOS 15.2 system update, which means that we no longer have to worry that Apple will cancel this function in the future.
