Apple is reportedly planning to add blood pressure monitoring and sleep apnea detection features on the next-generation Watch Series, which would debut in 2024. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the American tech giant is planning to include a blood pressure sensor technology with the ability to detect hypertension to the 2024 Apple Watch, which would likely feature new design too.
The Watch Series 10 is also reported to have a sleep apnea detection feature, which would use sleep and breathing patterns to diagnose the condition – according to Bloomberg.

In related news, Apple is working on non-invasive blood glucose monitoring technology. The technology would likely use a silicon photonics chip to shine a laser light under the skin to determine the concentration of glucose within the body. Glucose monitoring would be designed similar to the blood pressure monitoring system. It would display if the glucose level is trending and would direct the user to consult a doctor. However, it is unlikely that the Glucose monitoring technology would be ready by 2024 for the Apple Watch Series 10.
