- Some Samsung Galaxy Watch models offer sleep apnea detection
- The company is associating with Stanford University to investigate more innovation in the sector
- He hopes to use AI to go beyond detection and develop sleep management technology
Samsung has announced ambitious plans to take the characteristics of the sleep apnea of its Galaxy watches range beyond detection, possibly using the AI sleep apnea management for a day.
Announced on April 8, Samsung has been associated with Stanford University and Stanford Medicine to carry out a research project on “an innovative health solution based on the obstructive apnea function of Samsung’s dream.”
Samsung says that the study is designed “to explore potential ways to further improve Samsung’s sleep apnea to better support sleep health through timely interventions.”
According to Samsung, the company wants to go beyond detection, the current functionality offered by devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra and Galaxy Watch 7, and towards technology that can help users to administer the condition.
Samsung does not sleep in sleep apnea
Perhaps the most exciting, Samsung specifically mentions AI technology, which expects to take advantage of this search, “train users with the best possible sleep tools to improve their health.”
Samsung also pointed out that its sleep apnea function was recently certified in Brazil and will launch into the country in April to carry the total number of territories supported to 29.
The characteristic is designed to help detect and detect sleep apnea before to prevent long -term complications, a noble objective shared by Apple, which added the detection of sleep apnea to its best Apple Watch models last year.
According to estimates, sleep apnea affects more than one billion people worldwide, mostly without being detected. The sleep apnea is a condition in which the body stops breathing briefly during sleep, cutting oxygen to the body. Not diagnosed, it can cause more significant health complications, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes and heart problems.
It seems that Samsung’s ambitions extend beyond mere detection, with future views clearly established in monitoring the condition or perhaps even preventing it first. In the most immediate news of Galaxy Watch, we expect a new Galaxy Watch 8 and possibly a classic model to debut at some point in this summer.
