Apple Watch is gaining sleep apnea detection
Announced as one of Apple’s major new health features — alongside hearing health — at the “It’s Glowtime” event, Apple Watch sleep apnea detection required FDA approval. The Food and Drug Administration has now granted approval, and the feature will be rolling out to at least the US presently. Apple has now also released a 10-page report on the feature, called “Estimating Breathing Disturbances and Sleep Apnea Risk from Apple Watch.”
The document is not attributed to any authors, but otherwise is a regular academic filing on how the feature works. It also specifically details how Apple’s research was validated by the wider health community.
