Empirical Sleep launches support for new Apple Watch sleep stages

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

Empirical Sleep 2.0 launched with support for several new features in watchOS 9 and iOS 16, including sleep stages, rich complications, and sleep widgets on the iPhone lock screen.

This launch is focused on three primary features:

  • Sleep stages. Empirical Sleep now shows your amount of time in Core, Deep, and REM sleep on both the mobile phone and the watch face.

  • Apple Watch face complications. Empirical sleep lets consumers install a watch face which shows sleep onset, duration, quality, and sleep stages. It also includes a new native Apple Watch app.

  • Sleep widgets on the iPhone lock screen. Consumers can see their sleep statistics directly on their iPhone lock screen, which is powered by Apple’s new WidgetKit framework.

Sleep is one of the most common health problems, yet surprisingly overlooked. Poor sleep is linked to 7 of the 15 leading causes of death in the US, including heart disease, cancer, stroke, accidents, diabetes, septicemia, and high blood pressure. At any given moment, 1 in 3 of US adults report getting insufficient sleep, and over our lifetime, 1 in 4 of us will suffer a sleep condition like insomnia or sleep apnea.

About Empirical Health

Empirical Health’s mission is to reinvent primary care for the age of the sensor. More than half a billion people use a wearable with a health sensor—which have been shown in studies to accurately detect health conditions ranging from abnormal heart rhythms to sleep apnea to Parkinson’s staging—yet only 0.14% of doctor visits incorporate wearable data into patient visits. Empirical Health was founded in 2022 and its first product, Empirical Sleep, is focused on sleep.
