Samsung’s Galaxy Watch to Introduce Groundbreaking Sleep Apnea Detection Feature

Early Detection Aims to Improve Sleep Quality and Prevent Health Complications

The critical output of this analysis is the estimation of the Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI), representing the average number of apnea and hypopnea events occurring per hour of sleep. According to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM), a range of five to 15 events per hour indicates a mild case, 15 to 30 signifies a moderate case, and beyond 30 indicates a severe case.

Samsung emphasizes that this feature will be user-friendly. Users will only need to track their sleep twice within a span of 10 days to gauge whether they exhibit these symptoms. Importantly, each sleep session must be of a duration exceeding four hours for accurate results.
