TL;DR Summary

The FDA has authorized a sleep apnea detection feature for the Samsung Galaxy Watch, allowing the Samsung Health Monitor app to track sleep apnea in the US later this year. Users will need to wear the watch while sleeping and monitor their sleep twice within a 10-day period. The feature will monitor blood oxygen levels to detect breathing interruptions associated with sleep apnea, although doctors caution that smartwatches may not be reliable for health disorder detection.
