The Vitals app on watchOS 11 for the Apple Watch can give you a heads up that you’re about to fall ill. | Image credit-Reddit
The Vitals app takes a week of overnight use to compute a baseline range for the health metrics tracked on the watch. These metrics include heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, blood oxygen, and sleep duration. If more than one of these metrics is outside of the normal range you will receive a notification alerting you to these readings along with some factors that could be responsible such as medication, elevation changes, and illnesses. If none of your metrics are outside the range, that’s a good sign as it shows that the metrics being tracked are all within range.
Imagine having a two or three-day-heads-up before you get sick. This could help you prepare for an illness by buying the OTC meds (like Tylenol) and food (Chicken soup) that you need to return to health.
