In this time of age, having a handy device to help anyone deal with the coronavirus will be welcome. Two things concern most people who are limited to the walls of their home - mental health and gaining better sleep. The Apple Watch Series 6 update seems to have considered that with several new features focusing on an individual's health.
According to tweet by leaker Nikias Molina, the Apple Watch Series 6 patch will include an array of new features that will help a person's well-being. That includes anxiety and sleep problems most are dealing with right now. Aside from that, there are more improvements to expect from the next patch that will be making its way to Apple Watch owners soon.
Among the anxiety monitoring features to expect include better monitoring of one's mental health abnormalities. It will join the other previous perks such as heart rate monitoring and the detection of unusual anxieties. Sleep tracking is something that will come in handy. Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, some individuals have been having trouble sleeping soundly. With the new sleep tracker, better sleep awaits people or at least identifying what truly deprives then from getting a decent shuteye. According to a report from ABC News, social isolation has only made the problem more serious.
"It seems as though the social isolation is feeding some degrees of anxiety which can be crossed over into a sleep problem, whether you have anxiety as a disorder or not," USF Health Professor and Director of Sleep Medicine Dr. William Anderson said.
Aside from those two features, there is also the pulse oximeter that brings into focus the much-awaited SPO2. This will help Apple Watch owners to closely monitor their oxygen levels and alert them of dips when it occurs. For those keeping tabs with the coronavirus issue, this is something that needs close tracking in what could help safeguard individuals from getting infected by the strain.
Beyond that, the Series 6 update also promises to provide Apple Watches with improved battery life. This is an essential improvement, especially for folks who are not too fond about seeing their wearable device run out of juice while on the go. But even if that does happen, the Apple Watch will be armed with a faster Qi-related charging that should make sure that Apple Watches are quickly charged once power becomes low or runs out wherever they may be.
