Η Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), seems to be gearing up for a new era in wwith technology that will be able to monitor and analyze biometric data in real time, offering personalized and potentially life-saving guidance to users.
According to Apple Insider, an Apple patent titled “Method and apparatus for monitoring the healths” describes a system for tracking a user's biometric data and providing suggestions and guidance in a mixed reality (MR) system. This hints at future wearables from Apple that could be worn all the time.
How the new technology will work:
- The technology will continuously monitor biometric data such as heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and respiration.
- It will use this data, combined with location and activity data, to provide personalized health advice in real time.
- For example, if the user has an elevated heart rate, the technology could suggest that they take a break or relax.
- If the user is visually impaired, the technology could adjust the focus of the wearable to improve their vision.
How new technology could change wearables:
- New technology could make wearables more useful and practical than ever.
- It could help users maintain their health and avoid health problems.
- It could improve the quality of life of visually impaired users.
It is important to note that filing a patent does not mean that the technology will eventually be used in a product.
Still, the prospect of an Apple wearable that can track and analyze biometric data in real time is exciting.
