It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and heart rate readings, including camera readings, may be inaccurate. Always consult your doctor. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number. To sample your heart rate often enough to catch a flare, the app keeps a session running on your Apple Watch. Apple counts that time toward your Exercise ring and active calories, even at rest. You can pause your rings in the Fitness app. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
