Where the hell is Apple getting the idea that 101/72 is “elevated blood pressure” from? Elevates compared to what? Charlie Kirk’s?

high blood pressure med sellers and insurance companies to deny cover.

Perhaps it's 'elevated' over the previous average of the same person? Putting "AI" into everything is kind of fashionable these days, and Apple has been known to sell simple statistical models as AI, after all.

Well, my next theory would be that Apple put some more complex AI into the watch, and it hallucinated something up.

*boggle* according to those reference ranges that's the opposite of elevated.

My GP and my neurologist have a "battle" regarding my blood pressure. The neurologist is like "Uh, we have to keep MPH at a low dosis, your blood pressure is at 135/85!! Maybe you check in with your GP and tell her to alter your dosage?" and my GP is like "Whats her issue?? The blood pressure meds work fine, these are good values. I mean compared to the 220/120 you got without my meds, this is very good."

Somehow like being a kid that stands between two fighting parents... 😅

Were you on the second floor when you took the measurement? Perhaps it was comparing altitude?
