What I would like is something that can take a look at blood pressure. Or heart health.
Pretty sure current tech is difficult to get blood pressure from a watch. The results vary a lot depending on how firmly the watch is against the skin and where in the wrist it's registering. It also needs to be calibrated using a normal cuff.
I doubt blood pressure can be accurately registered elsewhere other than from heart level as hydrostatic pressure would cause inaccuracies in the blood pressure reading.
