https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/get-started-with-health-features-apd7941a2f19/26/watchos/26
Your Apple Watch can help you meet your sleep goals, track
important information related to your heart, keep a log of
your emotions and mood, log your medications, track your
menstrual cycle, and encourage you to wash your hands, etc.
All of our health innovations are FDA approved, subject to
rigorous scientific validation, and are developed with
clinical experts from start to finish.
With helpful insights, you'll get a better picture of your
overall health and fitness on a daily basis and over time.
And since every health feature is designed to protect your
privacy, you're always in control of your data.
FALL DETECTION With Apple Watch
After the call ends, your watch sends a message to your
emergency contacts with your location letting them know that
your watch detected a hard fall and dialed emergency
services. Your watch gets your emergency contacts from your
Medical ID.
Some countries and regions have multiple emergency service
numbers. For these countries, Apple Watch will call the
number associated with ambulance services.
EMERGENCY SERVICES when you need them (Letters to Apple)
https://www.apple.com/watch/?focus=safety
Apple Watch can detect if you take a hard fall or are in a
severe crash and then automatically help connect you with
help, share your location, and notify your emergency
contacts.
HEART HEALTH NOTIFICATIONS on your Apple Watch

TRACK YOUR VITALS on Apple Watch
https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/vitals-apd15aa7ed96/26/watchos/26
In the Vitals app, you can view overnight health
metrics-heart rate, respiratory rate, wrist temperature,
blood oxygen, and sleep duration-to get a better
understanding of your daily health status.
The Vitals app establishes a typical range for each of your
health metrics collected as you sleep. If multiple metrics
are outside your typical range, you receive a notification
along with context for factors that may be involved-like
medications, elevation changes, or illness, for example.
TAKE AN ECG with the ECG app on Apple Watch
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208955
An electrocardiogram (also called an ECG or EKG) is a test
that records the timing and strength of the electrical
signals that make the heart beat. By looking at an ECG, a
doctor can gain insights about your heart rhythm and look
for irregularities.
The ECG waveform, its associated classifications, and any
noted symptoms will be saved in the Health app on your iPhone
or iPad. You can also share a PDF with your doctor.
MEASURE BLOOD OXYGEN levels on Apple Watch
https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/blood-oxygen-apdaf17aa5ef/watchos
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211027
Use the Blood Oxygen app on Apple Watch Series 6 or later
to measure the percentage of oxygen your red blood cells
carry from your lungs to the rest of the body. Knowing how
well oxygenated your blood is can help you understand your
overall health and wellness.
TRACK YOUR SLEEP with Apple Watch
https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/track-your-sleep-apd830528336/26/watchos/26
With the Sleep app on Apple Watch, you can create sleep
schedules to help you meet your sleep goals. Wear your watch
to bed, and Apple Watch can estimate the time you spent in
each sleep stage - REM, Core, and Deep - as well as when you
might have woken up.
After sleeping, open the Sleep app to learn how much sleep
you got and see your sleep trends over the past 14 days.
To see your sleep history on iPhone, open the Health app on
iPhone, tap Sleep Score. Also tap Sleep. There is much data
about your sleep and related vitals.
OLLI Course: Oh sleep! it is a gentle thing
http://edu-observatory.org/olli/Sleep/index.html
The Apple Watch uses motion sensors and its accelerometer to
monitor your rest, and while that may seem insanely retro, it
works. We're continually comparing and testing the best sleep
trackers, and the Apple Watch is up there with the most
accurate devices in terms of tracking sleep duration.
We've used it extensively, and crucially, it does get that
sleep duration figure right. Many smartwatches will offer a
sleep duration that's eerily close to your time in bed, while
the Apple Watch is sensitive enough to discount wake-ups and
disturbances to give you an accurate sleep duration figure.
KEEPING FIT

https://www.apple.com/watch/why-apple-watch/
Apple Watch can do what your other devices can't because
it's on your wrist. When you wear it, you get a fitness
partner that measures all the ways you move, meaningful
health insights, and a connection to the people and things
you care about most. And it's always just a glance away.
