Samsung received FDA approval back in February:

It works on a different monitoring method and requires 2 sleep cycles over 4 hours each in a 10 day window to start detecting.
>The feature, a software-only mobile medical app, uses smartwatch built-in sensors to monitor the user’s sleep for significant breathing disruptions associated with OSA. Users may track their sleep twice for more than four hours within a 10-day period to utilize the feature.
Great job to the team at Apple for getting this together & getting real approval for it.
However how many people will this catch that had no idea they should get checked? Not unlike some of the people who found out they have afib after their watches suggested they get checked? I agree this is great.
It’d be interesting if we find out that a very different percentage of the population have sleep apnea than we thought simply because so many more get checked as a result of this.
