Apple increases investment in strength training and may launch Apple Watch with new sensor technology

According to foreign technology media myhealthyapple, Apple is actively researching the introduction of new technologies to deal with strength training scenarios, and plans to use strain gauge sensors to improve the performance of Apple Watch in this area

According to the recruitment information of Apple’s health technology team, they are looking for professional analog electronic product engineers, with the purpose of using advanced technical components to develop more excellent electromechanical systems. Selected engineers will play a key role in the design, construction, testing and troubleshooting of early prototype health hardware. This could mean that the Apple team is actively advancing research and development on biomechanics on the Apple Watch

Introducing strain gauges will allow the Apple Watch to track more accurately during strength training Muscle strain and load conditions, thereby providing more accurate activity tracking and health data

By introducing strain gauges as a non-invasive strain sensor, researchers can expect to accurately measure The all-round strain of human skin and monitoring of physiological data such as blood pressure further enhance the practicality of Apple Watch in different sports scenarios. Currently, Apple Watch is mainly suitable for aerobic exercise, such as running and cycling, and can track data such as calorie consumption, time and heart rate. However, in specific activities such as strength training, existing sensors may not provide accurate data support because the relationship between heart rate and load is complex. The introduction of strain gauges will fill this gap, thereby improving activity tracking in strength training scenarios
