The FDA Approves Apple's Smartwatch Sleep Apnea Detection Feature.


(MENAFN- market Press Release) September 16, 2024 9:34 pm - Apple has acquired FDA certification for the sleep apnea detection function in the most recent version of its wearable software.

Apple (AAPL) has been granted permission by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for all of its most recent range of health features for its smart devices. These features were unveiled at the launch event that took place last week, which also included the introduction of the new Iphone 16.

The decision was made to approve the sleep apnea detection function that will be included in Apple's watchOS 11, which will be released on Monday and is the most recent version of the software that controls Apple's smartwatches. Additionally, the sleep apnea function will be accessible on the Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, in addition to the Series 10 that was introduced at the event that took place the previous week.

The movement of a user's arm will be monitored for "small movements at the wrist during sleep that are associated with interruptions in normal respiratory patterns," according to Apple. This is because disruptions to breathing while sleeping are the primary indication of sleep apnea, according to Apple.

The function will track the motions on a monthly basis and will tell the user if it finds indicators of probable sleep apnea. The information that is gathered may be taken to a medical practitioner in order to establish whether or not a sleep apnea diagnosis is correct.

Tech Giants Are Joining the Health Movement
In the beginning of this year, Samsung, which is Apple's competitor, was granted permission by the FDA for its sleep apnea detection function on the Galaxy Watch.

It's Samsung. "Samsung's Sleep Apnea Feature on Galaxy Watch First of Its Kind Authorized by US FDA."

A hearing aid software gadget that is available over-the-counter (OTC) was authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) last week for use with Apple AirPods Pro.

A number of analyst reports about dismal pre-order statistics for the iPhone 16 impacted on the shares of the technology giant Apple, which resulted in the stock of Apple falling by 3% to $215.82 on Monday afternoon.
