30 to 40 million Americans have sleep apnea, but most aren't diagnosed.

Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder that temporarily causes you to stop breathing, disrupting oxygen flow to your brain and body.

Apple 's watch has a built-in accelerometer that detects motion.

It's not a diagnostic device but screens for breathing disturbances without using oxygen monitors.
