Summary

Apple's Irregular Rhythm Notification feature on Apple Watch detects irregular heart rhythms suggestive of atrial fibrillation (AFib) and alerts users accordingly.

Description

The Irregular Rhythm Notification feature on Apple Watch Series 1 and later uses the optical heart sensor to periodically check for irregular heart rhythms that may indicate AFib. If an irregular rhythm is detected on five rhythm checks over a minimum of 65 minutes, the watch sends a notification to the user. This feature is intended for individuals aged 22 and older who have not been previously diagnosed with AFib. It is not designed to detect heart attacks, blood clots, strokes, or other heart-related conditions. Users are encouraged to consult with a healthcare professional if they receive a notification. The feature is available in various countries and regions, with availability depending on local regulations. To enable the feature, users must update their iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest versions of iOS and watchOS, respectively. The feature is not intended for use by individuals under 22 years old or those who have been previously diagnosed with AFib. If any symptoms arise, users should contact their doctor.
