South Korean technology giant Samsung announced that it has developed a very important feature for its smart watches. According to the statement on the company’s website, Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Watch 6 users will be able to find out whether they have “sleep apnea” problems through their smart watches.

Sleep apnea, known as a serious and quite common disorder, is simply the cessation of breathing during sleep. Considering how important quality sleep is for our routine life, you can more or less guess how sleep apnea will affect our lives. This new feature developed for Samsung’s smart watches will make it possible to detect sleep apnea at an early stage and treat it before it causes much bigger problems.
How will the feature work?
According to the statement made by Samsung, the sleep apnea feature will benefit from the bioactive sensor in smart watches. In this context; How and to what extent the oxygen level in the blood changes during sleep will be measured. These measurements will allow us to understand how many times the person’s breathing is interrupted. The user will see certain numerical values on the new screen regarding sleep apnea that will be presented on the Samsung Health Monitor. These values;
- 5-15 light
- Medium between 15-30
- 30 and above heavy
will be described as. In order to reach these values, it will be sufficient for the user to have sleep monitoring twice within 10 days. Samsung says that sleep time should be at least 4 hours to get accurate results. The new feature, which will begin to reach users as of the beginning of 2024, seems to delight many people in the future.
