Samsung Galaxy Ring Receives FDA Approval for Sleep Apnea Detection

Samsung has launched an upgraded sleep apnea detection feature for the Galaxy Ring and select Galaxy Watch models in the United States. The feature, which received FDA clearance in July 2026, utilizes an enhanced algorithm to analyze breathing disruptions and blood oxygen levels during sleep for users aged 18 and older.

The system requires two nights of sleep data within a 10-day period to provide insights via the Samsung Health Monitor app.
