Yes, you can share your sleep apnea data from the Apple Watch Series 10 directly with your doctor. The watch features a Sleep Apnea Notifications function that monitors breathing disturbances during sleep and alerts users if it detects consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea. This feature, cleared by the FDA, allows users to generate a report that includes three months' worth of breathing disturbance data, which can be shared with healthcare providers for further evaluation and discussion of potential next steps[2][4][5].
To share your health data, you need to follow these steps:
1. Open the Health App: On your iPhone, tap the "Sharing" tab.
2. Select Share with Your Doctor: Follow the prompts to choose which health topics you want to share.
3. Complete Sharing Setup: Tap "Share" to send the selected data to your healthcare provider[6].
This integration can lead to more informed conversations about your health and help ensure that any necessary follow-up actions are taken based on the insights derived from your Apple Watch data[1][6].
