Improve Heart Rate Accuracy on Apple Watch
Today we are going to teach you how to improve the accuracy of heart rate on the Apple Watch Series 4. And we are only going to be able to carry out this process, for now, in this device.
The Apple Watch Series 4 has meant a great advance in terms of smart watches. With it we can do practically everything, sometimes we can even forget about the iPhone. It has a processor that allows us to open applications faster and makes everything work more precisely.
But without a doubt, one of the functions that attracted the most attention was being able to perform an electrocardiogram with the same watch . On this occasion, we are going to use the same technique, but to measure the pulsations in a more precise way.
How to improve heart rate accuracy on Apple Watch Series 4
What we must do, as we have already mentioned, is to make use of the functions that are used to perform an electrocardiogram with the Watch .
Therefore, we must go to the heart app that is installed by default on the watch. To make it work more precisely, we must enter the app keeping our finger on the digital crown, it's not necessary to press, just place your finger. When we have it in place, we enter the app and it will begin to measure the heart rate
Once we get the result, we can consult the data in the iPhone He alth app . It will be here where we see that the data has been obtained through the ECG of the Apple Watch. So we went to the He alth app.
The route we must follow is the following: app He alth/ He alth data/ Heart/ Heart rate/ Show all data. Let's go step by step. Once in the He alth app, we go to the “He alth Data” section and then “Heart” .
Click on the he alth data and then on heart
Here we must click on “Heart rate” , but on the information button.
Get more heart rate information
Once inside, look for the tab «Show all data» and click on it. They will now appear to us every day on which our heart rate has been taken. We select the day on which we have made this measurement, using the ECG .
We see that all the minutes in which data has been obtained appear. We just have to look for the one in which we have done it through this process and that's it. We will see that this information appears in this section
Heart rate from Apple Watch ECG
That means it was done using the electrocardiogram function. Which means that these data are much more accurate. In the event that it has not been done through this process, we will see that «Transmission» or «In the background» . appears in this box.
Therefore, if you want to obtain an accuracy in the heart rate measured by your Apple Watch , we recommend this technique.
