I've looked up all the posts about the new AFib detection notifications and it says not for use if you're under the age of 22.  The ECG app says the same thing but it still lets me use it even though I'm only 18.  Will the new notifications let me set them up also even though I'm under 22 or is that being more strictly enforced?  

I know the rollout of this feature is supposedly not complete yet but I wanted to make sure it's actually going to roll out eventually to me or if I'm just waiting for a feature that I won't have access to for another 5 years.  By then they'll have come out with something way better anyway if I actually do have to wait till I'm 22.

@SunsetRunner Nice to see you again here in the forums. Even though the app lets you set it up, I would not use the feature. I honestly would not be able to confirm, if the same thing is going to happen with this new feature. Regardless, as the app says, do not use if you're under the age of 22.

 

Have a nice day!

Yeah I get your point.  It's just of interest to me since my Grandma had AFib and I would've liked to use the feature if it were available.  I haven't really looked into why the FDA clearance is only for 22 and up.  I've had an actual ECG in a hospital when I was 16(about a year before I got my Sense) and the staff there didn't mention my age at all.  I guess this age thing only applies to wearable tech.
