Jason Hiner/ZDNETWant to catch up on the latest health and wearable tech news? As ZDNET’s editor of health and wearable technology, I keep up with the daily rumors and news of new tech, so you don’t have to. I’ve rounded up some of the week’s most memorable stories on smartwatches and fitness trackers. Keep reading to learn about the latest features landing around your wrist. From condition detection to condition management Samsung is seeking an upgrade on its FDA-cleared obstructive sleep apnea detection feature, thanks to a collaboration with Stanford Medicine.

Tech brands like Samsung, Google, and Apple have rolled out several features in their wearables that detect conditions like atrial fibrillation, sleep apnea, and hearing loss. The question is: Will people continue using the product once they’ve received a diagnosis? Tech brands seem to be exploring what’s next following detection to encourage continued use. This explains the introduction of management features and personal AI health assistants in everything from the Oura Ring to Polar watches. Speaking of Polar smartwatches, Polar unveiled its Fitness Program plan on Thursday. This paid subscription plan gives Polar watch wearers their own personal fitness assistant. The Fitness Program creates “science-backed” cardio fitness plans catering to users’ fitness goals and routines.

New features roll out on Pixel Watches Google rolled out its Scam Detection feature, which uses AI to scan calls and detect suspicious activity, on its second- and third-generation Pixel Watches. Pixel Watch 3 users also got a lifesaving feature upgrade in the Loss of Pulse Detection feature, which is rolling out now through the end of the month.
