The most popular Apple products will double as hearing aids, glucose monitors, sleep apnea detectors, and more.
Apple has been consistently injecting itself into the health and wellness sector, with its products helping with everything from fitness tracking to family planning. And now a new Bloomberg report suggests Apple has several projects that will significantly expand those offerings across all their devices.
Bloomberg analysts Mark Gurman and Drake Bennett took a deep dive into all the upcoming projects that Apple has under wraps and which have the potential to revolutionize healthcare.
At the heart of all of these projects is the aim of helping people grasp a better understanding of their health data, with the development of new metrics and technology that could allow users to detect issues early on.
You can find a roundup of all of the features by device below.
Unsurprisingly, the Apple Watch, already an essential device for health and wellness tracking for many people, will home most of the new health features.
In addition to tracking heart rate, blood oxygen, sleep, respiratory rate, and wrist temperature, the Apple Watch could soon also monitor blood pressure and blood glucose.
Apple has been working on developing blood glucose monitoring since as early as 2011. Now, Apple has made significant improvements and, as a result, may be nearing the implementation of the technology into its Apple Watch.
