Great News ECG app on Apple Watch now available in Dubai UAE

Now, you can take an electrocardiogram (ECG) right from your wrist, as the new ECG app on Apple Watch has been approved by the UAE's Ministry of Health and Prevention (Mohap) as a medical device.

The ECG app, which is available on Apple Watch Series 4 or later, has been released in the UAE with the next software update for iOS 14 and watch OS 7, Apple announced on Thursday.

The tech giant has also launched the Mohap-approved irregular rhythm notification feature on Apple Watch Series 3 and newer models for users in the country.

While the ECG app captures users' heart rhythm the moment they experience symptoms like a rapid or skipped heartbeat, the tech giant has reiterated that the feature should not be used for a conclusive diagnosis on any heart-related issue.
