Apple Watch is not "just" an ordinary smart watch capable of mirroring notifications from a smartphone and so on. They are also perfectly usable for monitoring the health of their owner, which is currently officially limited to only a few functions in the form of heart rate measurement, EKG, blood oxygenation or even measuring body temperature while sleeping. However, the reality is that the Watch can measure or at least find out a lot more, and it's almost a shame that Apple doesn't fully use their potential through its software.

If you have been following the events surrounding the health functions of the Apple Watch for a long time, you have certainly already noticed, for example, earlier information that they should be able to detect a whole range of heart diseases based on the measured ECG and heart rate and so on. It is enough to "just" evaluate this data with special algorithms and, based on their settings, they will determine whether the measured data is risky or not. A few days ago, for a change, the CardioBot application received an update, which has learned to determine the stress level from the measured values ​​of the variable heart rate. At the same time, the Apple Watch manages to display the variable heart rate for a long time, but Apple doesn't really want to analyze it, which is a shame. It is more and more evident that the watch can measure an extremely large amount and it is only up to the algorithms what they can extract from the given data.

The fact that a huge number of things can already be detected with the Apple Watch based on software alone is a huge promise for the future. Apple can easily switch from developing new sensors to developing advanced algorithms and software in general that can process current data even better, and as a result, it can add a whole range of health functions to older watches as well. We can see that it is possible in various medical studies and in various applications. So the potential here is really big and it's up to Apple to use it.
