  • Bloomberg sources say Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) wants to include advanced heart rate monitoring in future versions of the Watch.
  • A test model requires users to squeeze the Watch frame with the opposite hand, which allows the device to send a current across the chest to track electrical heart signals. The wearer doesn’t feel the current and it can detect abnormalities like an arrhythmia.
  • Current Apple Watches have a basic heart rate monitor, but the test model would turn the wearable into more of a medical device.
  • Apple recently partnered with Stanford Medicine to research irregular heart rhythms.
