Your Watch Could Flag Sleep Apnea
By Vigorous Lifestyle · Daily Health & Fitness News
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine shared encouraging research: a Samsung smartwatch helped identify adults with moderate-to-severe sleep apnea. Participants tested it during sleep studies and at home. The watch cannot diagnose the condition, but it may help people seek evaluation sooner. Habitual snoring or nighttime gasping warrants a doctor’s attention.
