Apple is planning to add several new Apple Watch Health features according to Wall Street Journal.

According to their sources or analysts, most of its health feature improvements aren’t expected before 2022, which some of the features could likely be featured during the release of the Series 8 Apple Watch and slowly having more features.
First off, Apple is investigating if their blood oxygen sensor can detect sleep apnea. Giving an issue on when it should take readings overnight to prevent battery drains.
Second, Apple is working on a Blood Pressure monitor feature that measures the speed of a heart beat that sends through arteries by using sensors, which is subject to change as it is in development. They are also working on a Blood Pressure Monitor without inflating. Which is apparently in early-development.
Third, Apple also plans to use body temperature sensors in 2022 to detect fever. And planned for a new sensor that can be used for fertility planning, giving women clues on where they are in their ovulation cycle.
And finally, the Wall Street Journal reports say that Apple is pushing the FDA to approve updates to existing features of the Apple Watch. Giving the advantage for people who have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. And low blood-oxygen detection notifying the users instead of reading then no notification.
Apple is also studying diabetes detection and apparently remains at a very early stage of development and struggling. Will it take ten years? And Apple is also silently working with The National University of Singapore, as well with other companies for a research project examining people who wear more invasive blood-sugar monitoring devices and watches from other companies. This is expected to be completed by next year.
Euri uses basic transition words… He dum.
