Apple Watch Sleep Apnea Detection Rolls Out in South Korea
Apple's sleep apnea detection on the Apple Watch is now available in South Korea. This feature can be a real game-changer for people who suspect they might have this condition. I believe that by tracking your wrist movements during sleep, the Apple Watch can identify those moments when your breathing becomes irregular, possibly signaling sleep apnea.
It's important to understand that the Apple Watch doesn't replace a proper medical diagnosis. Instead, it acts as an initial screening tool. So, if your watch detects these breathing disturbances over multiple nights, it's a good idea to consult with a doctor for a comprehensive evaluation. The supported devices are Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, Series 11, Apple Watch Ultra 2, and Apple Watch Ultra 3
The best part is, all the data collected by the Apple Watch is conveniently stored in the iPhone's Health app. This makes it easy to keep track of your sleep patterns and share the information with your healthcare provider. It's features like these that make the Apple Watch a powerful tool for proactive health monitoring.
If you're curious about what other health features your Apple Watch offers, you can find a complete list on Apple's website.
