A new feature on the Apple Watch Series 10 will alert wearers if they have irregular breathing patterns linked with sleep apnea.
omeone watching your breathing while you sleep all night every night would be downright creepy. But, sans human eyeballs, the new Apple Watch will do just that—and it can tell you if something seems off. Apple announced at its annual device debuts event today that the new—available starting September 20—will come with the ability to measure breathing regularity, and it'll even alert a user if their data indicates they might have sleep apnea.
Apple will do it by monitoring small wrist movements with an accelerometer in the watch, which it says are linked to sleep disturbances. These will be collected under a new metric called “Breathing Disturbances,” which you’ll be able to see graphed over time in the Health app. If you have regular breathing disturbances, an Apple Watch algorithm, trained on the breathing patterns of people with sleep apnea, will be able to determine if those disturbances indicate you might have the condition.
