Here’s How to Check Blood Pressure on Your Apple Watch

If you have hypertension or are concerned about having high blood pressure, you probably know how crucial it is to regularly check your blood pressure. The secret to regular practice for taking blood pressure is simplicity and ease of usage.

At-home monitoring can provide you with the information you need to determine when it's time to visit the doctor, even if it won't replace one. And if you already have an Apple Watch and are wondering: can Apple Watch take blood pressure? The answer is YES!

Let us take a look at how to check blood pressure on your Apple Watch. But first things first…

Why Should You Monitor Blood Pressure at Home?

Setting up a daily log will help you trace any variations in your standard levels over time and provide a benchmark for what you consider to be "healthy." Work stress and in your personal life, as well as specific items you eat, might increase your results. 

Monitoring your blood pressure can assist with early diagnosis, avoiding false readings, and monitoring the results of any new blood pressure medications.

Can Apple Watch take Blood Pressure?

The Apple Watch cannot measure blood pressure on its own. Blocking the blood flow by first putting a blood pressure cuff across your forearm and then releasing it while monitoring for abnormalities in your arteries is the only method that is both medically accurate and verified.
