Say hello to sleep apnea detection.
Just days ahead of its full release and hours before watchOS 11 is released to the public, Apple’s new sleep apnea detection feature for Apple Watch has been approved for use by the US Food and Drug Asministration (FDA).
Apple unveiled its new Apple Watch Series 10 at its Glowtime iPhone 16 event last week, and one of the highlights of the new wearable is sleep apnea detection. The upgrade is actually a software-powered feature that is also coming to the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2.
Sleep apnea, which affects an estimated 1 billion people worldwide, is a disorder in which breathing momentarily stops while sleeping, depriving the body of oxygen.
