Following the FDA authorization of the new Hearing Aid mode for the AirPods Pro 2 last week, today Apple has another wearable in a similar situation. The sleep apnea detection for the Apple Watch is now FDA certified.
This will work with the Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2. The Apple Watch Series 10 will be released on September 20. The feature will be part of watchOS 11, which is expected to go out today.
Once you enable it, it needs ten nights of sleep tracking data over a 30-day period to determine whether you may have sleep apnea. It also offers insights into sleep disturbances.
If the feature suspects you may have sleep apnea, it will prompt you to seek a formal diagnosis from your healthcare provider. Sleep apnea causes your breathing to become shallower and/or repeatedly stop during the night, and it can cause insomnia, headaches, daytime sleepiness, and other conditions.
Samsung already received FDA approval for sleep apnea detection for its Galaxy Watches earlier this year.
