From the Apple Watch was removed sensor measurement of blood pressure and ECG

Even before the announcement of Apple Watch has been known that there will be in hours sensors to monitor the health of the owner. Wall Street Journal found out what measuring instruments for health planned in hours, but were inside the gadget.

It turns out that four years ago at the beginning of the Apple Watch development they planned to add a sensor for detecting stress in the body and measuring the pulse, ie an electrocardiogram. There was also the idea of ​​measuring blood pressure and blood oxygen saturation.

However, the development of the company encountered many problems not only with the creation of art and patenting, but also commonplace use. As the clock will read data from the user's skin, if he has a lot of hair on his arm and the sensor simply does not apply to the skin? And if the user has a very dry skin and the sensor simply does not respond?

Unfortunately, at the moment, "mix" of all these functions together with the already available in the gadget is practically impossible. But their appearance in future versions of Apple Watch has no cancels.

Existing Apple Watch and all their features you can already try out in April.
