The electrocardiogram on the Apple Watch
Apple announced in the September Keynote of this year the Apple Watch Series 4 Among many other novelties of the latest Apple smartwatch, it was announced that, thanks to a new sensor in the digital crown, the Apple Watch would be able to be used as an electrocardiogram.
The EKG on the Apple Watch will be first only in the US
In the same Keynote it was announced that this novelty, although it was implemented in the device, would not be activated from the moment the device was launched.This is because the electrocardiogram is a completely medical function. Therefore it needs approval.
Specifically from a He alth Council in the US and, in the European Union, it is likely that it depends on Union bodies. It might also depend on individual member countries, but it's more likely to be approved generally.
How to activate the electrocardiogram
Apparently, as indicated by a very reliable source of information in the Apple world, the Electrocardiogram of the Apple Watch would have obtained the approval of the agency in charge of issuing it in the United States.
Therefore, watchOS 5.1.2 will enable the ECG feature only in the United States. At the moment, until the European Union or the Member States jointly approve and authorize it, it cannot be used in the EU.
Unless you do the steps that we explained to you previously As it happens with the Stores of other countries from which we can download apps that are not in the Spanish Store, you can Activate the Electrocardiogram in Spain and in any other country thanks to this trick
We will keep you informed of all the movements regarding this function of the Apple Watch. If you arrive in the US with watchOS 5.1.2 we hope it won't take much longer to reach Europe and other countries.
