2024’s Apple Watch X could have two new health features that could save more lives،
Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, writing in his weekly newsletter “Power On” for Bloomberg, said two new health features are coming in a future iteration of the Apple Watch. It will be detected if you have sleep apnea, a serious condition in which your breathing may stop and resume during the night while you sleep. People with this problem use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine that pushes oxygen into your airways. The second characteristic is hypertension.
Both of these health problems can lead to death. Hypertension is a fancy way of saying that high blood pressure that could lead to stroke and sleep apnea is also potentially life-threatening. So this fits with the Apple Watch's reputation as a life-saving device. Current features that have saved the lives of Apple Watch users include heart rate monitor, EKG, fall detector, and crash detector.
A future Apple Watch model, perhaps one of the Watch X 2024 models, is expected to alert users if the watch detects that they have high blood pressure or sleep apnea and, if so In this case, the device will recommend users to make an appointment for follow-up. currently being tested. And of course, work continues on technology that will allow Apple Watch users to monitor their blood sugar readings. Currently, insulin-dependent diabetics draw blood using a small lancet with a needle tip. A drop of this blood is placed on a disposable test strip which is inserted into a machine called a glucometer to obtain a reading.
Like the iPhone X, the Apple Watch 10 will be called Apple Watch
With this reading, which is taken before each meal, a diabetic calculates the correct dose of insulin to take, which is important because taking too much insulin can cause the diabetic to faint. If you take too little insulin, the diabetic's organs (including the eyes and heart) may become damaged over time. If Apple manages to come up with a non-invasive blood sugar sensor, it will provide a lot of relief to diabetics and save them from purchasing expensive test strips as they cannot be reused.
Originally, it was thought that the Apple Watch But in October, TF International's reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said, “The 2024 Apple Watch is unlikely to have any significant innovative experiences.” Kuo says this excludes the micro-LED display for 2024 and the non-invasive blood sugar sensor. Kuo says these two features also might not be ready for the Apple Watch 11 2025 lineup.
But Kuo isn't saying whether the hallmarks of hypertension and sleep apnea will surface next year. For his part, Gurman writes that at least one model of the Apple Watch 2024 series will have a new design. Gurman doesn't see the current Apple Watch Series 9 selling strongly during the holiday shopping period. However, he says that upcoming health features, whenever they are added to the Apple Watch, should attract consumers' attention.
