Apple Watch's accelerometer will track small movements of the wrist that may indicate breathing disorders. If these abnormalities are observed for several nights in a row, there is a possibility that the person has sleep apnea. This is a serious condition in which breathing stops periodically during sleep, so you should pay special attention to the warning.

Users will be able to view data on sleep disturbances in the Health app on iPhone. The assessment results will be categorized as "elevated" or "not elevated".

The new option was tested in clinical trials and was designed to detect moderate to severe sleep apnea. Apple has received FDA approval to introduce this feature in the United States.
