苹果观察(Apple Watch)的血压警示因年龄、种族和风险而异, 研究人员指出, Apple Watch’s blood pressure alerts vary by age, race, and risk, with some cases missed or falsely flagged, researchers say.

新研究发现苹果观察(Apple Watch)经FDA批准的高血压警报功能, 使用光学传感器标出潜在的高血压, 其效果因年龄、种族和风险程度而异。 A new study finds Apple Watch’s FDA-approved hypertension alert feature, which uses optical sensors to flag potential high blood pressure, varies in effectiveness by age, race, and risk level. 虽然警报大大增加了年轻成人和某些种族群体的发现可能性,但许多未经诊断的病例没有被发现,有些没有高血压的病例得到虚假警报。 While alerts significantly increase detection likelihood in younger adults and certain racial groups, many undiagnosed cases go undetected, and some without hypertension receive false alerts. 研究人员强调,这一工具不应取代临床血压检查,并敦促用户向保健提供者咨询,以获得确认。 Researchers stress the tool should not replace clinical blood pressure checks and urge users to consult healthcare providers for confirmation.
