During Apple's recent 'Glowtime' event, the tech giant revealed a new wearable device with a life-saving feature that can detect sleep apnea. This health condition leads to serious issues such as increased risk of hypertension and cardiac problems. The feature, named 'Breathing Disturbances,' uses the smartwatch's accelerometer to detect small wrist movements during sleep that are indicative of respiratory interruptions. If the device identifies moderate to severe sleep apnea, it will recommend consulting a medical professional.
The Apple Watch 10’s sleep apnea detection feature is currently awaiting FDA approval and will be rolled out in over 150 countries upon receiving clearance. This feature signifies a major step forward in health monitoring technology, allowing users to proactively manage their sleep health. By enabling users to export summary reports to share with healthcare providers, Apple is seeking to enhance patient engagement and promote preventative healthcare measures.
