If you have an Apple Watch Series 4 or newer, you can now finally use the ECG feature on your watch. I’m not sure why this feature was previously disabled for Apple users in Kuwait but over the weekend Apple released watchOS 7 that enabled the feature for a few countries and Kuwait was one of them.
Apple Watch Series 4, 5, and 6 users can generate an ECG waveform in just 30 seconds by placing their finger on the Digital Crown. The idea is that you can take this information to your doctor, if the results are abnormal, and use it as a basis to discover if you have any larger issues at hand.
The irregular rhythm notification feature also intermittently checks heart rhythms in the background and sends a notification if an irregular heart rhythm is identified that could potentially be atrial fibrillation (AFib).
Atrial fibrillation is a health condition that often goes undiagnosed, so ECG app and heart rhythm alerts on Apple Watch will be highly useful for detecting early signs of disease. ECG readings also normally require a full ECG machine and a visit to the doctor, which is far less convenient than a reading taken with the Apple Watch. source
So if you have an Apple Watch download the latest update and try it out.

It was disabled in Kuwait because the feature needed MOH approval due to legal liability concerns by Apple. I guess MOH finally got around to it.
I honestly thought that this feature would never make it to Kuwait, wow. I’m really surprised (and impressed) the MOH showed some modernity and not only knew about it but gave it the ok too
If its working on the apple watch for kuwait, why hasnt it been started on the Galaxy Watch 3 yet ! 🙁
Is it available on galaxy watch 3 ?
