Apple Watch, AirPods gain new health features in India

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Apple is expanding health features to India, making sleep apnoea notifications available on Apple Watch and a hearing test feature accessible via AirPods Pro 2 and 3. The sleep apnoea feature, previously FDA-cleared, detects breathing interruptions during sleep and alerts users who haven't been diagnosed, encouraging them to consult a doctor. The hearing test, integrated into AirPods Pro 2 and 3, provides a clinical-grade assessment of hearing ability in five minutes, with results exportable for healthcare providers. AI

IMPACT Expands health monitoring capabilities on consumer devices, potentially increasing user awareness of sleep and hearing conditions.
