This post unpacks key blood pressure Apple Watch features related to heart health and an easy way to use them to reduce heart health risks.
The new version of BreathNow blood pressure app for iPhone is designed with the latest Apple Watch Series 7 heart health features in mind. Using the latest technology to reduce heart health risks can be tricky and the new version of iPhone blood pressure app BreathNow makes it easy for everyone.
We preserved the original functionality of BreathNow blood pressure app which is loved by tens of thousands of users:
- Track and lower blood pressure with slow breathing and meditation
- Measure heart rate and stress with iPhone’s camera and reduce them with exercises
How exactly does the release of the BreathNow app benefit my health?
Blood pressure app for Apple Watch BreathNow identifies potential heart health risks, i.e. elevated resting heart rate, elevated blood pressure or irregular heart rhythm from user data stored securely in Apple Health, alerts a user and suggests potential actions. From reducing blood pressure or heart rate with slow breathing, meditation or other relaxation activities, to advising to get in touch with your medical provider if the user's Apple Watch Series 7 identifies irregular heart rhythm (atrial fibrillation, or Afib) or low blood oxygen.
Blood pressure Apple Watch app BreathNow also alerts you if you miss your daily step target. If you use a wearable which tracks your sleep, i.e. Apple Watch Series 7, BreathNow will also alert you if you miss your target sleep hours.

Many of these video guides will help you to feel better just after a few minutes. BreathNow also helps users to lower anxiety and stress and fall asleep faster. Without medications.

Who may benefit from using the new version of BreathNow?
Everyone who cares about their heart being healthy will benefit from using BreathNow. Blood pressure Apple Watch app BreathNow will be especially useful for those experiencing anxiety and/or elevated blood pressure.
In many situations these conditions may be alleviated with the help of calming activities: slow breathing, meditations, calming music, stretching etc. One can measure heart rate and stress changes with the iPhone's camera right in the app before and after an activity.
We encourage users to discuss with their medical providers how to integrate BreathNow better into their overall treatment plans. Users can also share their progress from the app with their doctors remotely in a very easy way.
How is BreathNow different from other heart health apps?
Most heart health apps provide just tracking functionality for heart rate, blood pressure, steps etc. There are other apps which provide general guidance for breathing, meditation, etc. And then there are apps which focus on exercise workouts. BreathNow is different because it complements heart health tracking functionality with specific tools to lower anxiety, heart rate and blood pressure right in the app.
Does BreathNow replace my medical provider?
Absolutely not! BreathNow blood pressure app for Apple Watch is not a medical tool. It does not provide medical advice or suggests a medical treatment. BreathNow can complement a treatment process as directed by a medical professional and we strongly recommend BreathNow users to discuss with their doctors how to use BreathNow in a better way for their specific situations. How to check your blood pressure properly? It is explained on our YouTube channel dedicated to blood pressure Apple Watch app BreathNow.
How did you choose heart health risks in BreathNow?
We chose resting heart rate, elevated systolic blood pressure, daily steps, sleep hours and irregular heart rhythm as heart health risk factors in BreathNow blood pressure app for iPhone because these factors are highlighted by most heart health research organizations AND because they can be measured with the help of Apple technology.
For example, the American Heart Association provides specific guidelines for healthy blood pressure readings [1]. The absolute resting heart rate of a healthy adult may vary between 60-100 beats per minute [2]. However variation from your usual resting heart rate may mean an illness so it is important to learn your normal heart rate and monitor its variations.
Same applies to your daily steps and sleep hours. Hence you can set different alert levels for heart health risk areas within iPhone blood pressure app BreathNow. Please talk to your doctor about heart health factors specific for your situation and discuss how BreathNow could help you to address them better.
What is the science behind BreathNow breathing to lower blood pressure?
Breathing exercises and meditations have an ancient history and are closely connected to yoga practice. Modern science has provided an explanation how these exercises help to control our autonomous nervous system. Generally speaking, slower deeper breathing with longer exhales stimulates our parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for ‘rest and digest’ behavior. These exercises calm us. Same applies to meditations.
