NTN News on September 25, According to Appleinsider, citing news from the Washington Post, Apple had previously released Apple Watch Series 6, which added blood oxygen monitoring. However, a “Washington Post” reporter said that the oximeter of Apple Watch Series 6 “has no effect.”
According to the “Washington Post” technical columnist Geoffrey Fowler (Geoffrey Fowler), he decided not to wear Apple Watch Series 6 to test his oximeter. Fowler reports that the wearable device’s readings are conflicting when using the blood oxygen measurement app . Fowler called the Apple Watch Series 6 “almost useless” for blood oxygen monitoring.
“Sometimes the new Apple Watch Series 6 reports that my lungs and heart are healthy, and my blood oxygen levels are normal. Sometimes it will report that my blood oxygen is very low and I may have emphysema. ( I’m not.)”
He also mentioned that some problems may be related to the Solo Loop strap. Naija Tech News understands that Solo Loop has a variety of sizes to choose from. Reducing the size can eliminate some of the possibility of deviations in the measurement results, but this will leave marks on the user’s arm.
It is worth noting that Apple has made it clear that the oximeter in Apple Watch Series 6 should not be used for health assessments.
“The blood oxygen application measurement is not suitable for medical purposes, including self-diagnosis or consultation with a doctor, and is only for general fitness and health purposes .
The good news is that the source Komiya mentioned in his tweet that Apple will continue to improve the blood oxygen monitoring function through software updates .
