According to a Sept. 9 news release from the company, sleep and hearing health features will soon be available on the Apple Watch and AirPods Pro 2.

The Apple Watch will offer sleep apnea notifications, pending marketing authorization from the FDA and other global health authorities. Meanwhile, the AirPods Pro 2 will include a clinically validated hearing test feature and an over-the-counter hearing aid option, both also awaiting global regulatory approval. Apple expects these features to launch this fall.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
