Apple has launched the Vitals app for watchOS 11, which, according to users, can detect potential illnesses several days before symptoms appear.
Vitals, designed specifically for Apple Watch, analyzes key health metrics recorded during sleep over the course of a week. Some users have already rated the feature and claim it seems to provide insights into illness even before symptoms manifest in a person.
“I started using Vitals in beta and since then I've been sick about twice. Both times the app issued a warning days in advance, even though I didn't feel unwell.”
The Vitals metrics can be viewed directly within the app or in the relevant section of the Health app on the iPhone, specifically focusing on data such as heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, sleep duration, and blood oxygen levels. Vitals initially determines and sets typical benchmarks, then alerts users to deviations from these norms.
Some users also report that the app detects changes linked to vaccinations, again, ahead of any symptoms.
At the same time, Apple notes that its program is not intended for diagnosing or treating any diseases.
The app is available on Apple Watch Series 8 and newer models, as well as on Apple Watch Ultra running watchOS 11.
