Apple has a new way of identifying signs of sleep apnea using the accelerometer on the Apple Watch. Apple’s Deidre Caldbeck and Dr. Matt Bianchi explain how this feature works, how it was tested and the validation process needed to bring it to the watch. Sleep apnea notifications are available on the Apple Watch Series 10, Series 9 and Ultra 2.

Charge it early evening up until you’re ready for bed if that’s an option for you. That’s what I do. I wear my Ultra 2 during the night.

I shower everyday, during the shower I charge. Everyday the watch is between 40%-55% after shower it’s about 70%-90%
I try not to hit 100%. 80% I’ll take it of the charger. You should only charge between 20%-80%

I am a candidate. I have sleep apnea and I have a machine. Let’s see how I do with the Apple Watch on with it.

Samsung’s is even better. Still, they bring AWARENESS to a potential issue, but do nothing for it. One of the easiest home remedies is a mandibular jaw device you can buy just about anywhere. Keeps your airway open, cuts down on snoring, and prevents tooth grinding, all in one. Only for obstructive apnea though; if you have central apnea, you’re probably going to need a CPAP.

It’s puzzling that the new Apple Watch doesn’t measure blood oxygen levels, yet it can track sleep apnea. Conversely, the Apple Watch Ultra S1 has an oxygen sensor but can’t track sleep apnea. This seems like a deliberate strategy by Apple to compel users to upgrade. By restricting a feature that necessitates blood oxygen for an accurate reading, they’ve eliminated the need for an oxygen sensor in the new watches, while the Ultra S1 has one but can’t perform sleep apnea tracking.

There’s a lawsuit going on with Apple and Massimo. Which is the reason the new watches can’t measure blood oxygen because of a patent dispute.

In 2015, I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. My initial sleep study said i stopped breathing 77X per hour. That’s a minimum of 10 seconds per stop. 30+ stops per hour is considered severe. I’ve been using a cpap machine every night now since. In 9 yrs, I’ve exceeded 1.0 stops per hour less than 10x. I own the Apple watch Ultra 2. I’m glad this is avail for Samsung and now Apple. I can honestly say the cpap machine has greatly increased my quality of life.

The facade of meeting “performance objectives” is a standard ploy that apple uses to introduce new features only to newer devices forcing people to upgrade to get the feature. They should be more transparent about what those objectives are, and really should be focused on bringing more features to existing product base as well – given how widely their products are used. Just do not tolerate this artificial ‘software wall’ they have created.. and how they tout the same.
