Apple pushes into sleep apnea detection but health care integration remain unclear
CUPERTINO, Calif. — Apple on Monday announced a new Apple Watch feature that will warn users they may have sleep apnea. It’s the latest advance in the company’s decade-long effort to sell its wearable as a tool that can help people live healthier lives.
Additionally, the company announced more hearing health features for its wireless earbuds. The company’s AirPods will be able to conduct a hearing test and later this fall will be able to be used as a “clinical grade over-the-counter hearing aid,” Apple’s VP of health Sumbul Desai said in a prerecorded announcement video.
