Apple Watch users find Vitals app detects Illness even prior to symptoms
With the new Vitals app, Apple Watch users can quickly view key overnight health metrics, receive alerts when two or more metrics are out of their typical range, and gain better context when it comes to their health.
According to recent reports on Reddit, Apple’s new Vitals app for watchOS 11 appears to be impressing some users with its ability to detect potential illness days before symptoms even appear.
The Apple Watch app, which analyzes key health metrics measured during sleep over the last seven days, appears to be providing early warnings of impending sickness for at least some Apple Watch wearers ahead of time. It’s available on Apple Watch Series 8 and newer models, including the Apple Watch Ultra series, as long as the devices are running watchOS 11.
One Reddit user, RCG21, shared their experience with the new feature:
“I started using Vitals when it first came out on the beta and since then I’ve gotten sick about twice. Both times it knew a couple days in advance and I hadn’t felt anything wrong.”
Another user, dalethomas81, posted a screenshot of their Vitals data, stating, “Woke up today feeling off. Now as the evening is setting in, I am feeling that old familiar feeling in my head. I’m sick.” The image showed multiple metrics falling outside the typical range days before the user reported feeling ill.
