Study finds smartwatches can help screen for sleep apnea
Original: Study finds a smartwatch can help screen for obstructive sleep apnea
A new study reported by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine finds that a smartwatch can help screen for obstructive sleep apnea. The finding suggests wearable devices already on millions of wrists could flag a common, underdiagnosed sleep disorder, potentially speeding up referrals for formal testing and treatment of a condition linked to serious health risks.
Why now: Wearable health technology is rapidly advancing and sleep apnea affects many undiagnosed people, so the finding resonates widely.
