Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 expected to get major health upgrade


The Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 is now almost certain to come with built-in sleep apnea detection, after Samsung's sensor technology was officially cleared for this purpose by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US.

As Samsung notes in a press release (via 9to5Google), it is the first company to obtain such authorization for sleep apnea in the United States. It means the FDA believes the detection algorithms are reliable enough that Samsung devices could be marketed as capable of detecting the condition.
