An electronic device for identifying occurrence of hypotension and a method therefor are provided. The electronic device includes a housing, a user interface, a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor exposed through at least part of the housing, a motion sensor disposed in the housing, at least one processor operatively coupled with the user interface, the PPG sensor, and the motion sensor, and a memory operatively coupled with the at least one processor. The memory may store instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to, based on first data from the motion sensor indicating a change of a selected pattern, identify a blood pressure value based at least in part on second data from the PPG sensor, and based on the identified blood pressure value being lower than a first threshold, provide a notification through the user interface. |
