Apple Watch 'black box' algorithms unreliable for medical research [u]
I think this study is consistent with what the Apple Watch is cleared to measure and notify the user of a possible clinical issue. For the ECG function only, this includes atrial fibrillation (totally variable heart rate), tachycardia (very high heart rate), and low resting heart rate (<40 bpm). I don’t believe that the Apple Watch Pulse Oximeter is cleared for highly accurate O2 saturation, but is for only detecting low resting heart rate. For both measurements (ECG and Pulse Oximeter), nothing that involves slight variability in heart rate is ever reported, but such data would be of interest to researchers.
