In patients with lung diseases, the Apple Watch Series 6 is a reliable way to obtain heart rate and oxygen saturation (SpO2), reveals a new study.
Apple Watch Can Predict COVID-19 Diagnosis
Study shows that apple watch can predict the test results of COVID-19 one week prior.

‘The Apple Watch has a tendency of higher SpO2 values than commercial oximeters, however, heart rate measurements were similar in both devices.’
It notes that "there was no statistical difference in the evaluation of skin colour, wrist circumference, presence of wrist hair, and enamel nail for SpO2 and heart rate measurements in Apple Watch or commercial oximeter devices". The study, from the University of Sao Paulo, was conducted with 100 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and interstitial lung disease from an outpatient pneumology clinic.
It collected SpO2 and heart rate data with Apple Watch Series 6 and compared them to two commercial pulse oximeters.
New Device Uses Apple Watch to Address Nighttime Disorder
