☆ FDA clears Apple's sleep apnea detection feature for use. Here's how it works
  + stars: | 2024-09-16 | by ( Ashley Capoot | In | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that causes a person's breathing to repeatedly stop and start throughout the night. If it goes untreated, sleep apnea can cause fatigue and lead to more serious health issues like heart problems, hypertension and Type 2 diabetes. Apple's sleep apnea detection feature marks the company's latest attempt to position its wearables as a cheaper, simpler alternative to many existing health-care tests and devices. To get evaluated for sleep apnea, for instance, patients typically participate in an at-home test or an in-lab test where they're monitored overnight. The at-home sleep apnea test from Sleep Doctor costs $189, for example.

☆ Apple turning AirPods into hearing aids underscores effort to crack massive health market
  + stars: | 2024-09-12 | by ( Kif Leswing | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Apple announced on Monday that its AirPods Pro 2 headphones will become an FDA-cleared hearing aid in the coming weeks through a software update. Apple CEO Tim Cook has highlighted health features as the company's "most important contribution to mankind." The new feature is a free software update for some AirPods models and will be included with Apple's $249 AirPods Pro 2. Many over-the-counter hearing aids are much more expensive, according to buyers guides cited by the Hearing Loss Association of America, an advocacy group. Analysts say that adding health features like a hearing aid expands the market for the device, which could help sales.
