Apple plans to introduce a new paid health service alongside a blood pressure sensor and a system for detecting sleep apnea in the Apple Watch next year, according to a report from Bloomberg Wednesday.
The paid health coaching service could provide a new area for Apple to develop recurring subscription revenues.
Apple's blood pressure sensor will reportedly detect when a user's blood pressure is elevated, though it won't show their exact measurements.
There's been speculation for years that Apple will eventually add blood pressure sensing to the Apple Watch.
Healthcare companies like Omron also already offer watches that can monitor blood pressure.
