The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is tipped to get a major health upgrade

Posted by

It’s now almost certain that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 will come with sleep apnea detection built-in, after Samsung’s sensor tech was officially authorized for this purpose by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US.

As Samsung points out in a press release (via 9to5Google), it is the first company to get such authorization for sleep apnea in the United States. It means that the FDA thinks the detection algorithms are reliable enough that Samsung’s devices can be marketed as being able to spot the condition.
