Here's why Apple didn't need FDA clearance for Apple Watch Series 6 blood oxygen sensing
I wonder if Apple could* combine Pulse oximetry and ECG with the sleep app. This could be interesting in indicating a risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea. Indeed, add in microphone snore/apnoea sensing on the 'phone (like popular sleep tracking apps have) and this could be really useful in indicating risk - correlate with a Health App based Epworth Sleepiness Score and already entered anthropomorphic data and could identify many presently undiagnosed OSA suffers (or at least highlight a risk and prompt a physician review). It's very under diagnosed!
*I bet they've thought of this! -
Apple Watch Series 10 rumored to offer limited blood pressure monitoring
ralphie said:Poorly written article at best.. “the "holy grails" of non-invasive blood pressure”. Since when has blood pressure measurement been invasive?! Maybe the author should look for a new physician.
The watch thing sounds cool though. However it works - shape/amplitude of the photoplethysmograph waveform prehaps?
