A report that Apple Watch 6 would possibly involve a blood oxygen sensor creates the very genuine option that the next edition of Apple’s best-selling computer may also be a best friend in the opposite combat to Covid-19.
The feature code was discovered in iOS 14 in the spring.
And Apple won a patent for devices capable of detecting degrees of oxygen in the blood in June.
The latest news comes from Taiwan Electronics’ new DigiTimes website, indicating that ASE Technology has announced that it has won a new contract with Apple to manufacture the hardware. This hardware is scheduled for the next edition of the Apple Watch, which will be delivered later this year. Competing products, such as Google-owned Fitbit, already offer functionality.
Currently, doctors use pulse oximeters to measure oxygen grades in the blood. Obviously, the degrees of oxygen to be fit are essential for the general physical condition; However, more specifically, low oxygen levels in the blood are fairly common and have an effect on COVID-19 infection.
“Many doctors in emergency rooms notice a very concerned finding: some COVID-19 patients have dangerously low oxygen levels,” WebMD said in April. “Some pointed out that COVID-19 patients monitor their oxygen grades at home with a pulse oximeter.”
Pulse oximeters are cheap: less than $50 in many cases. But they are only used when someone suspects a challenge and intentionally undergoes a test. Continuous monitoring of oxygen grades in the blood through a used Apple Watch can stumble not only on harmful degrees of low blood oxygen levels, but also with the degrees of oxygen in the blood that tend to drop. This can make them useful either to monitor known patients with COVID-19 and to potentially trip into emerging cases.
Of course, Apple doesn’t announce any Apple Watch Series 6 features, so this is all a hypothesis until the product is released.
However, fitness is a primary purpose for the company.
“If you come into the future and look back and ask the question: “What has been Apple’s greatest contribution to humanity?” “It will be a fitness issue,” Apple CEO Tim Cook told CNBC in 2019. We’re democratizing it. Us… we give the individual control of their physical condition.
That’s why the Apple Watch saves lives through crashes. That’s why Apple Watch monitors ambient sound, alerts you if you’re experiencing the best grades, and provides information on how long you’ll stay in dangerously noisy environments last week. And, of course, why you control your center frequency, you can perform an ECG, stumble upon atrial fibrillation, control training grades and remind you to move the matrix
Adding oxygen tracking to your blood would make a lot of sense, and in fact, it may not be the last fitness feature that Apple will charge on a portable device. And it may help if Coronavirus stayed with us for years.
But we’ll have to wait for the official launch of apple Watch 6 to be sure.
