At its September 9, 2024, “Glowtime” event, Apple introduced a groundbreaking sleep apnea detection feature for the Apple Watch 10. Powered by advanced machine learning, the watch’s algorithm monitors “Breathing Disturbances” using wrist movements during sleep. The feature can detect moderate to severe signs of sleep apnea, a condition affecting 39 million U.S. adults. Users can share the collected data with healthcare providers, potentially aiding early diagnosis and treatment. Medical professionals praise the innovation for raising awareness and improving access to health-tracking solutions while emphasizing that it does not replace professional medical evaluation.
