Sleep apnea affects 25 million people in the U.S. and 1.5 million in the U.K., but it’s a surprisingly difficult disorder to diagnose, considering the obvious symptoms occur when you’re asleep. Without a partner to observe you during the night, it could be years before you realise you may have the disorder.
However, yesterday the FDA approved the new Apple Watch to detect symptoms of sleep apnea and notify users of possible cases. While this new tech won’t be able to diagnose sleep apnea, it can highlight common symptoms that will help a doctor diagnose you.
