Apple Watch AI can detect pregnancy with 92 per cent accuracy, says new study
Apple Watch collects a tremendous amount of health data and Apple, along with researchers, are still figuring out what all features this data can provide. Now, it seems that next Apple Watch may see pregnancy test as a new Apple Watch feature because researchers have found that the data the watch collects can be used for this purpose with some superb accuracy. advertisementAccording to a newly published study, an AI model developed with support from Apple is capable of detecting health conditions such as pregnancy with remarkable accuracy, using nothing more than behavioural data collected from devices like the Apple Watch and study, titled Beyond Sensor Data: Foundation Models of Behavioural Data from Wearables Improve Health Predictions — and reported by by 9to5Mac — introduces a new kind of machine learning model known as the Wearable Behaviour Model (WBM). Unlike traditional health models that rely on raw sensor data, such as heart rate or blood oxygen levels, WBM is reportedly trained on long-term behavioural patterns. These include activity levels, sleep quality, mobility, heart rate variability, and other high-level health metrics already calculated by Apple Watch algorithms. WBM was developed as part of the Apple Heart and Movement Study (AHMS), which involved over 160,000 participants who voluntarily shared their health data. In total, the researchers trained the AI model on an enormous dataset comprising more than 2.5 billion hours of wearable data. The model was tested across 57 different health prediction tasks and, according to the researchers, the AI consistently outperformed traditional sensor-based models—especially when identifying subtle changes in the body linked to conditions such as pregnancy, infections, or injury does it work?WBM reportedly focuses on behaviour of users rather than short-term biometric spikes. The model analyses week-by-week patterns using a next-generation architecture called Mamba-2, which is particularly effective for time-series data such as human routines. This enables it to detect subtle, cumulative changes that could indicate anything from poor sleep to respiratory infections or even early-stage AI model used Apple Watch to detect pregnancy For pregnancy detection specifically WBM achieved up to 92 per ceny accuracy with daily insights and traditional biometric data like PPG (photoplethysmography). This hybrid has approach proved especially effective, surpassing models that relied solely on raw heart rate or oxygen levels. In fact, the researchers found that behavioural metrics such as changes in gait, mobility patterns, and shifts in sleep duration were among the most reliable indicators of early the study does not propose replacing raw sensor data entirely. Rather, it advocates for a combined approach. While real-time biometric data can detect acute physiological events, behavioural data said to provide a more comprehensive picture of long-term health trends. This dual-input method was also found to be the most effective across a range of use cases from detecting respiratory infections to identifying whether someone is on specific medications, such as beta blockers.- Ends

Google quietly releases minimalist Calendar app for Apple Watch
Complications and Smart Stack integration Receive the latest Apps news By subscribing you agree to our terms and conditions and privacy policy A rare commitment to Apple Watch Tapping on an entry reveals more details, but any interaction beyond that such as editing or creating new events requires opening the full Calendar app on a paired experience mirrors what Google offers on Wear OS devices. It's more of a glanceable utility than a full-featured productivity tool, and there are no signs that Google plans to expand its functionality beyond the its limitations, Google has added two useful complications to make the app feel more native on Apple Watch. The first, labeled 'What's next,' is available in both circular and rectangular formats and displays your upcoming appointment. It's also integrated into the watchOS 10 Smart Stack. Tapping this complication launches the app directly to event second complication is a simple circular widget that shows today's date. It also acts as a shortcut to launch the app. Google has long been cautious when it comes to supporting Apple Watch. Beyond Maps and YouTube Music, its existing apps haven't seen frequent updates, and Google Keep, for example, still lacks many modern watchOS features. That makes the addition of Google Calendar all the more while it's good to see another Google service make its way to the Apple Watch, the app's barebones approach means it might not replace the iPhone app anytime soon for this signals a renewed interest in Apple Watch support or is just a one-off convenience update remains to be seen.

Made in India iPhones will still be cheaper in US, even with Trump's 25% tariff: GTRI Report
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel Even if the United States were to impose a 25 per cent tariff on iPhones manufactured in India, the total production cost would still be much lower if compared with manufacturing the devices in the U.S, according to a report by Global Trade Research Initiative (GTRI).This comes amid a statement by U.S. President Donald Trump, threatening to impose 25 per cent tariffs on iPhones if Apple decides to make it in India. However, the GTRI report showed that manufacturing in India remains cost-effective, despite such report breaks down the current value chain of a USD 1,000 iPhone, which involves contributions from over a dozen countries. Apple retains the largest share of the value, about USD 450 per device, through its brand, software, and also added that the U.S. component makers, such as Qualcomm and Broadcom, add USD 80, while Taiwan contributes USD 150 through chip manufacturing. South Korea adds USD 90 via OLED screens and memory chips, and Japan supplies components worth USD 85, mainly through camera systems. Germany, Vietnam, and Malaysia account for another USD 45 through smaller stated that China and India, despite being major players of iPhone assembly, earn only around USD 30 per device. This is less than 3 per cent of the total retail price of an report argues that manufacturing iPhones in India is still economically viable even if a 25 per cent tariff is is mainly because of the sharp difference in labour costs between India and the U.S. In India, assembly workers earn approximately USD 230 per month, while in the U.S. states like California, labour costs could soar to around USD 2,900 per month due to minimum wage laws, a 13-fold a result, assembling an iPhone in India costs about USD 30, while the same process in the U.S. would cost around USD 390. In addition to this Apple gets the benefit of production-linked incentive (PLI) on iPhone manufacturing in India from Apple were to shift production to the U.S., its profit per iPhone could fall drastically from USD 450 to just USD 60, unless retail prices are significantly GTRI report highlighted how global value chains and labour cost differences make India a competitive option for manufacturing, even in the face of potential U.S. trade restrictions.

Harsh Goenka posts old pic of 3 Indian CEOs in Azerbaijan. Can you name them?
Industrialist Harsh Goenka shared a throwback photograph from a visit to Azerbaijan with fellow CEOs in a now-viral post on Group Chairman Harsh Goenka posted the old photograph from a past trip to Baku, Azerbaijan, featuring three Indian business leaders walking side by the image on X, he referred to the trip as one from 'better times' and invited users to identify the people in the 'In better times, when I visited Baku, Azerbaijan, I took this photo from behind of three CEOs/friends whom I had gone with! How many can you identify?' he a look at the post here:Two individuals in the image were identified almost immediately. The man on the left was recognised as Vikram Mehta, the former CEO of Shell India, who holds degrees from St. Stephen's College and Oxford University. The person in the centre was none other than Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani. In the image, Ambani was seen strolling without any visible security, while holding an older model of the identity of the third person remains unknown, with Goenka refusing to reveal it. He confirmed that the man is neither Harsh Mariwala nor Sanjeev Bikhchandani, names many had guessed in the post not just gained traction for the mystery around the unidentified CEOs but also for Goenka's blunt assessment of Baku. In a reply to one of the comments, he described the city as a 'useless place.'His comment comes at a time when Indian travellers are distancing themselves from Azerbaijan following its public support for Pakistan after 'Operation Sindoor'. Turkey too backed Pakistan during the same Reel
