Samsung partners with Stanford to enhance sleep apnea tracking on Galaxy Watch. A new joint project between Samsung and Stanford Medicine aims to initiate an advanced health feature focusing on obstructive sleep apnea analysis.

The Galaxy Watch’s sleep apnea detection previously received US FDA approval. Samsung’s latest health innovation has started rolling out for supported Galaxy Watch models in countries where it’s solution gets approved.

The collaboration between the Samsung Stanford Project highlights the critical role of sleep in maintaining good health by advancing proactive healthcare through an innovative study. The project aim is to explore advancements in Sleep Apnea detection technology.

Expanding the Scope of Sleep Apnea Technology

The project will be under the leadership of Professor Robson Capasso, with Professor Clete Kushida assisting as co-leader. The research aims to identify new pathways for enhancing and advancing Samsung’s Sleep Apnea feature. focused on delivering stronger sleep support through efficient impactful strategies.

In the future, the collaboration will concentrate on upgrading the current detection system. They aim to shift from basic symptom tracking to more advanced diagnostics with the help of AI-enabled persistent sleep monitoring to more accurate comprehensive sleep apnea management. This technology helps users to monitor their health and improve their daily living through upgraded sleep insights.

ANVISA Gives Approval to Sleep Apnea Feature

After getting approval from Brazil’s National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) now the Sleep Apnea Featurefeature will be available to users in Brazil by late April, extending its presence to 29 markets globally.

Samsung remains committed to making this important feature available to users in more countries and markets around the world, allowing a wider public to recognize possible symptoms earlier and take timely action. Early detection through this technology can help prevent serious long-term health risks associated with untreated OSA.
