The recently announced Series 4 version of the Apple Watch will feature a hospital-grade electrocardiogram that will track user heart health over time and support an export-to-PDF functionality in order to share the information with the owner’s doctor. This shift is repositioning the device into a growing healthcare-wearable tech market and foreshadows many other healthcare applications for similar technology. The granularity of the data will give actual information about many health habits and activities like smoking and exercise that are often inaccurately self-reported by patients.
