Apple iWatch can use optical
sensors for the measurement of physical functions, Such as heart rate and
oxygen levels, According to an electronics analyst at Sun Xu Chang Electrical
Engineering Times Chinese website, which is based on the supply chain sources
of knowledge about the subject. Xu also pointed out that although Apple has
planned for glucose monitoring, non-invasive methods are shown to be very
inaccurate.
Measuring oxygen levels
and heart rate are two functions iWatch previously been rumored that there are
optical sensors, which are used in several medical and health-related products
is a logical choice for a smart look.
Pulse oximetry devices
are often designed to fit over your finger to use to measure the amount of
oxygen in the blood-optic sensors. These sensors are based on the light, to
send two wavelength of light through the skin. A difference in how the light is
absorbed by the device allows determining the oxygen saturation in the blood.
Pulse Oximeters most clip with your finger or ear lobe, suggesting a wrist
pulse oximeter-based is hard, but not difficult to develop.
Monitoring heart rate
through the optical sensor newer technology is incorporated into that a number
of fitness products, including the Alpha million heart rate watch. Typical
heart rate monitoring chest strap had in the past, but with an optical sensor,
a light shone on the skin can be used to measure blood flow through the capillary,
and determine the heart rate.
