Samsungis working on implementing a sleep apnea detection feature to its Health Monitor app for theGalaxy Watch 5andWatch 6series.

This naturally results in, asSamsungnotes, lower sleep quality, and potentially additional health complications.

The latter includes but is not limited to, hypertension, cardiac disorders, as well as strokes.

The difference between the two conditions is that hypopnea only slows your breathing; it doesnt outright stop it.

Beyond that, you have a severe case.

Samsung claims this feature will be simple to use.

It’s important to note each sleep has to be more than four hours.

Availability

There is one catch: its only coming out in South Korea.

However, we have reason to believe the sleep apnea detection tool will eventually roll out internationally.

For starters, the announcement was made on Samsungs global newsroom in English alongside the Korean website.

It also sources information from American medical institutions like the National Sleep Foundation.

This story will be updated at a later time.

They range from smart watches to smart rings.
