According to XDA Developers’ Max Weinbach, Apple is working on a feature that will help Apple Watch to automatically detect panic attacks and can even detect when a user is under stress.
It has been tweeted that the watch is then supposed to learn over time what symptoms occur before and during the panic attack. Eventually, the goal is to detect panic attacks before they happen, warn the user beforehand and offer assistance (such as breathing exercises. Similarly to high heart rate notifications, the user would be able to look through the history of their detected panic attacks and see how the Watch behaved). The user can also manually specify the symptoms in order to further increase the accuracy.
The features may not appear in the immediate Apple Watch iteration as these are just in the discussion phase and expect it to be two years or more from launch. Apple has been gradually adding more health focused features on its Apple Watch. Apple is expected to launch Watch Series 6 later this year.
