Apple's 'redesigned' blood oxygen monitoring feature hits Apple Watches in the US today
Apple has reintroduced a redesigned blood oxygen monitoring feature on its Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Watch Ultra 2 models in the US. The feature was previously removed due to an import ban following a legal dispute with medical device maker Masimo over patent infringement. The updated feature will now calculate blood oxygen data on the user's iPhone, with the results viewable in the Health app. Apple has stated that there will be no impact on previously purchased Apple Watch units with the original blood oxygen feature or on units purchased outside the US. The reintroduction of the feature comes after a recent US Customs ruling, which allowed Apple to offer the functionality again with a slight modification. This marks another development in the ongoing legal battle between Apple and Masimo over intellectual property related to pulse oximeter blood-oxygen monitoring technology.
