Apple Watch
In related news, the next Apple Watch is rumored to add three new health sensors for diabetes, blood pressure and sleep apnea in 2024. These sensors will use noninvasive methods to warn users if they are at risk of these conditions and suggest when they should see a physician. However, the sensors will not provide actual measurements or diagnosis for treatment purposes. The new features are part of Apple’s larger goal to revolutionize healthcare with AI-powered and subscription-based services.
