Afib coming to charge 5

[Bugalugs11]

Hi when is the Afib (Atrial Fibrillation) continuous detection coming to the charge 5 in Australia?

I'm currently on firmware v 57.20001.149.11

No interest in this!?. It's a live saving feature that has saved countless lives if you look at the research done on the Apple watch which supports it.....

I just purchased this device for this very feature and was told by support that it is only available in the US. I am in Canada! So frustrating!

Retailers need to inform their customers about this limited access 😕

@Bugalugs11   I don’t think anyone on this site can tell you when it will be available in Australia.  This feature, like the ECG app, needed FDA approval for release in the US.  Australia released the ECG app when the equivalent regulatory board approved it.  I believe that this new feature will need the same approval.

@SHCanada   I think that this feature is so new that retailers just don’t know enough about it.
