Read full descriptionHide full description
Review two completed time windows using the same reading type and signal filter, with included and excluded counts visible. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open History and choose Compare windows. 2. Choose 7, 14 or 30 days per window, a reading type and minimum stored signal confidence. 3. Review the medians and observed difference or share the summary. A labeled illustrative example is available. The camera pulse workflow, breathing sessions and saved history remain available. Live camera capture still requires suitable physical hardware; illustrative values are not measurements. WHAT TO KNOW Today is excluded. Captures shorter than 20 seconds, missing pulse values and readings below the selected filter are excluded. Each window needs at least three included readings for a median comparison. Signal filtering does not establish accuracy. Unpaired observations do not establish a health change or an exercise effect. Wellness only; not for diagnosis or treatment decisions. iPhone and iPad.
