Wrist temperature sensing for women's health

The menstrual cycle is critical to women's health and is considered a vital sign by many doctors. Apple Watch Series 8 introduces innovative body temperature sensing to provide women with further health assessments. Relevant data is subject to strict privacy protections like all other health data. Apple Watch Series 8 uses a unique dual-sensor temperature sensing method, with one sensor located on the back of the watch close to the wrist and the other located below the display to reduce errors caused by the external environment.
Wrist temperature at night can be a good indicator of body temperature. The two sensors in Apple Watch Series 8 read the wrist temperature every 5 seconds while the user is sleeping and can measure changes in body temperature as small as 0.1 degrees Celsius. In the health app, users can see changes in their nighttime body temperature compared to their baseline body temperature, which may be caused by exercise, jet lag, or even disease.
With Apple Watch Series 8's new body temperature sensing feature, users can receive pushback estimates of ovulation day information. Knowing when you ovulate can help with fertility planning, and Apple Watch Series 8 provides estimates in the Health app to help users more easily know when to ovulate. Body temperature sensing also improves the accuracy of period predictions.
In addition, through iOS 16 and watchOS 9, when there is a possible deviation between the period record and the predicted result, such as irregular periods, infrequent periods, prolonged periods or persistent spotting, etc., users who use "period tracking" will be prompted, as such deviations may be indicative of underlying health conditions.
 |
| With the launch of iOS 16 and watchOS 9, if the menstrual history data recorded by the menstrual tracking app user shows that menstrual irregularities may occur, such as irregular menstruation, long cycle, prolonged menstruation, etc., the app will send a notification to the user. |
Car accident detection
 |
| The car crash detection feature utilizes advanced sensor fusion algorithms and the new, more powerful accelerometer and gyroscope in the Apple Watch to detect car crashes and provide accurate crash alerts. If the user does not respond after a 10-second countdown, the device will dial an emergency call. |
Low power mode
To keep users connected for longer, a new low-power mode extends battery life, with Apple Watch Series 8 providing up to 36 hours of battery life when paired with an iPhone. This new mode temporarily disables or limits some sensors and features, including a 24/7 Retina display, auto-start workouts, heart health notifications, and more.
WatchOS 9
The latest software brings feature updates and experience enhancements to the world's leading wearable operating system:
International roaming will be available later this fall. With this feature, users can stay connected to the cellular network while traveling abroad. Cellular data plans can be extended from the iPhone to the Apple Watch for little or no extra cost, and are available on more than 30 carriers worldwide.
The completely redesigned Compass app in watchOS 9 shows more depth information and 3 unique views. The app displays a new hybrid view, showing both an analog compass face and a digital view. Rotating the Digital Crown reveals another view, including latitude, longitude, altitude, and slope information, as well as a directional view showing compass waypoints and backtracking. The Backtracking feature uses GPS data to create a route the user has traveled, which is especially useful if the user is lost or disoriented, helping them find their way back. This feature is automatically turned on in the background when the user enters the wild area. Users can quickly and easily mark locations or important places directly within the app using the "Compass Waypoints" feature. Tap the compass waypoint icon to place a waypoint, and select a waypoint to view the direction and approximate distance of the waypoint in a targeted manner.
The Fitness App in watchOS 9 introduces new training progress views, such as segment, single segment, and climb height views, to provide users with more accurate training data. Users can also take their workouts to the next level with advanced training experiences such as heart rate zones, custom training plans, speed measurements, and racing routes coming later this year. For triathlons and any segmented activity including swimming, cycling, or running, the new multisport workout feature automatically recognizes and easily switches training modes. watchOS 9 brings more data and features to help track your running productivity. New running form measurements including stride length, touchdown time, and vertical amplitude can be added to the workout view.
Sleep tracking in watchOS 9 adds sleep stages to give users a better understanding of their sleep. The Apple Watch uses signals from the accelerometer and heart rate sensors to detect whether the user is in REM sleep, core sleep, or deep sleep. Users will see sleep stage data in the Sleep app on Apple Watch and can view more detailed information in the iPhone Health app, such as an interactive sleep stage graph, and sleep time, heart rate, and breathing rate in a sleep comparison graph.
The new Medication app for Apple Watch and iPhone helps users manage and track their medications, vitamins, and nutrients by creating medication lists, establishing schedules and reminders, and viewing medication information in the Health app.

Apple Watch and the environment
Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch SE are designed to have the lowest possible environmental impact. Both models use 100% recycled aluminum for the case, 100% recycled tungsten for the touch engine, and 100% recycled rare earth elements for all magnets. In addition, both products feature 100% recycled gold, a first for the Apple Watch series, and the material is used in the plating of multiple printed circuit boards for the Apple Watch Series 8 and the SiP chip plating for the new Apple Watch SE. Both products are free of mercury, brominated flame retardants (BFR), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and beryllium. Apple Watch packaging does not use an external plastic film, and 94% or more of the packaging material is fiber-based, bringing Apple closer to its goal of completely removing plastic from the packaging by the end of 2025.
Currently, Apple has achieved carbon neutrality in its global corporate operations and plans to achieve 100% carbon neutrality for the entire production supply chain and product life cycle by 2030. This means that every Apple device sold, from parts manufacturing, assembly, shipping, user use, and charging, to recycling of devices and materials, will have a net-zero climate impact.
Privacy
Privacy is paramount in the design and development of all Apple features. When the user locks the phone with a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID, all health and exercise data in the Health App will be encrypted, except for the information in the medical emergency card. Any Health App data backed up to iCloud is also encrypted in transit or stored on Apple servers. When the default two-factor authentication is turned on in iOS and watchOS and a passcode is used, the data synced to iCloud from the Health App will be encrypted end-to-end, which means Apple cannot decrypt and read the data.
