Samsung Electronics has received de novo authorization for a smartwatch and associated mobile app that can detect signs of sleep apnea.

The Food and Drug Administration authorized the Samsung Galaxy Watch for the detection of signs of moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in people aged 22 years and older.

The new feature gives Samsung an edge over competitor Apple, who also sought to add a sleep apnea feature to its smartwatch, according to a report from Bloomberg.
