Health authorities in Australia have approved the irregular rhythm notification feature of Apple Watch, which prompts users to use the ECG function when needed.
Apple’s ECG feature, introduced in the Apple Watch Series 4 in 2018, has been slowly gaining government approval for us in the US, South Korea, and more. Now the first signs of it being tested in Australia have emerged, with local authorities approving the related irregular rhythm notification feature.As first spotted by local publication EFTM, this Apple Watch ability to check your heart rate has been added to the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). This means that Apple is allowed to use this particular feature, but it is not the same as full ECG approval yet.
