A Powerful Way to Detect Signs of Sleep Apnea

检测睡眠呼吸暂停症状的有效方法

Sleep is an important area of health as it impacts a person’s overall physical and mental wellbeing. Sleep apnea is a prevalent disorder in which breathing momentarily stops during sleep, preventing the body from getting enough oxygen. The condition is estimated to impact more than 1 billion people worldwide, and in most cases, goes undiagnosed.

睡眠是健康的一个重要领域，因为它会影响一个人的整体身心健康。睡眠呼吸暂停是一种普遍存在的疾病，在睡眠期间呼吸会短暂停止，阻止身体获得足够的氧气。据估计，这种情况将影响全球10亿多人，在大多数情况下，尚未得到诊断。

If left untreated, it can have important health consequences over time, including increased risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiac issues..

如果不及时治疗，它可能会随着时间的推移产生重要的健康后果，包括高血压，2型糖尿病和心脏病的风险增加。。

Breathing Disturbances is an innovative new Apple Watch metric that uses the accelerometer to detect small movements at the wrist associated with interruptions to normal respiratory patterns during sleep. Every 30 days, Apple Watch will analyze breathing disturbance data and notify users if it shows consistent signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea so they can speak to their doctor about next steps, including potential diagnosis and treatment..

呼吸紊乱是一种创新的苹果手表新指标，它使用加速计检测手腕的微小运动，这些运动与睡眠期间正常呼吸模式的中断有关。每隔30天，Apple Watch将分析呼吸紊乱数据，并通知用户是否显示出中度至重度睡眠呼吸暂停的一致迹象，以便他们可以向医生说明下一步的步骤，包括潜在的诊断和治疗。。

Because overall quality of sleep is important, Breathing Disturbances can also be used to assess restfulness of sleep. Breathing Disturbances can be influenced by alcohol, medications, sleep position, and more. Users can view their nightly Breathing Disturbances in the Health app, where they are classified as elevated or not elevated, and can be viewed over a one-month, six-month, or one-year period..

由于睡眠的整体质量很重要，因此呼吸障碍也可用于评估睡眠的舒适度。。用户可以在健康应用程序中查看他们的夜间呼吸障碍，这些呼吸障碍分为升高或未升高，可以在一个月、六个月或一年的时间内查看。。

For more informed conversations with their healthcare providers, users can export a PDF that shows when sleep apnea may have occurred, three months of breathing disturbance data, and additional information. Educational articles are also available within the Health app to help users learn more about sleep apnea..

为了与医疗保健提供者进行更明智的对话，用户可以导出一个PDF文件，其中显示了睡眠呼吸暂停可能发生的时间，三个月的呼吸障碍数据以及其他信息。健康应用程序中也提供了教育文章，以帮助用户了解更多有关睡眠呼吸暂停的信息。。

The sleep apnea notification algorithm was developed using advanced machine learning and an extensive data set of clinical-grade sleep apnea tests. The feature was then validated in a clinical study — unprecedented in size for sleep apnea technology. In the clinical validation study, every participant identified by the algorithm had at least mild sleep apnea..

睡眠呼吸暂停通知算法是使用高级机器学习和临床级睡眠呼吸暂停测试的广泛数据集开发的。该功能随后在一项临床研究中得到验证，这是睡眠呼吸暂停技术规模空前的。在临床验证研究中，该算法确定的每个参与者至少有轻度睡眠呼吸暂停。。

“Empowering consumers everywhere to have the ability to reliably identify the presence of abnormal breathing patterns during sleep can help uncover a woefully underdiagnosed and serious medical condition such as sleep apnea,” said Sairam Parthasarathy, M.D., University of Arizona Health Sciences Center for Sleep, Circadian, and Neurosciences’s professor and director in Tucson, Arizona.

亚利桑那大学睡眠、昼夜节律和神经科学健康科学中心医学博士赛拉姆·帕塔萨拉西（SairamParthasarathy）说：“让世界各地的消费者都有能力可靠地识别睡眠期间异常呼吸模式的存在，可以帮助发现一种严重的疾病，如睡眠呼吸暂停。”。

“This is a major step forward in improving public health.”.

“这是在改善公共卫生方面迈出的重要一步。”。

Sleep apnea notifications and Breathing Disturbances add to a range of sleep health features for Apple Watch users. In addition to monitoring important overnight health metrics like heart rate and respiratory rate, Apple Watch also helps users meet their sleep goals and track their sleep over time.

睡眠呼吸暂停通知和呼吸紊乱为Apple Watch用户增加了一系列睡眠健康功能。除了监测心率和呼吸频率等重要的夜间健康指标外，Apple Watch还可以帮助用户实现睡眠目标，并随着时间的推移跟踪睡眠情况。

The World’s First All-in-One Hearing Health Experience

世界上第一次全方位听力健康体验

Approximately 1.5 billion people around the world are living with hearing loss, according to the World Health Organization. Research has also identified links between hearing loss and impact on a person’s overall wellbeing, including dementia and social isolation.

据世界卫生组织统计，全世界约有15亿人患有听力损失。研究还确定了听力损失与对一个人整体健康的影响之间的联系，包括痴呆症和社会隔离。

这可能包括通勤时坐地铁、在家割草、参加体育赛事等常见情况。。

In order to help users prevent exposure to loud environmental noise while preserving the sound signature of what they’re listening to, Hearing Protection comes to AirPods Pro. The ear tips help to provide passive noise reduction, while the H2 chip helps to actively reduce louder, more intermittent noise at 48,000 times per second.

为了帮助用户避免暴露在环境噪音中，同时保留他们所听到的声音特征，AirPods Pro推出了听力保护。耳塞有助于提供被动降噪，而H2芯片有助于以每秒48000次的频率主动降低更大、更间歇的噪音。

On by default across all listening modes, Hearing Protection is helpful in a variety of loud settings. Plus, with an all-new multiband high dynamic range algorithm, sounds at live events like concerts remain natural and vibrant..

默认情况下，在所有收听模式下都打开，听力保护在各种响亮设置中都很有用。此外，通过全新的多波段高动态范围算法，音乐会等现场活动的声音保持自然和活力。。

Awareness

意识

Hearing loss often worsens gradually, leaving many people unaware that they may be living with the condition. Eighty percent of adults in the U.S. have not had their hearing checked in the last five years, according to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. To give users even more insights into hearing health, Apple is introducing an intuitive, clinical-grade hearing test based on the standard clinical approach called pure-tone audiometry that users can take themselves with their AirPods Pro and a compatible iPhone or iPad..

听力损失通常会逐渐恶化，使许多人不知道自己可能患有这种疾病。据美国言语听力协会（American Speech Language hearing Association）统计，在过去五年中，80%的美国成年人没有接受过听力检查。为了让用户对听力健康有更多的了解，苹果推出了一种直观的临床级听力测试，该测试基于称为纯音测听的标准临床方法，用户可以使用AirPods Pro和兼容的iPhone或iPad进行测试。。

Users can take the convenient test in about five minutes from the comfort of their own home. The Hearing Test feature leverages advanced acoustic science and provides users with an interactive experience. When a user completes the test, they will see an easy-to-understand summary of their results, including a number representing hearing loss in each ear, a classification, and recommendations.

用户可以在舒适的家中大约五分钟内进行方便的测试。听力测试功能利用了先进的声学科学，并为用户提供了互动体验。当用户完成测试时，他们将看到一个易于理解的结果摘要，包括代表每只耳朵听力损失的数字，分类和建议。

The results, which include an audiogram, are stored privately and securely in the Health app, and can be shared with a healthcare provider to have more informed conversations..

结果（包括听力图）被秘密安全地存储在健康应用程序中，并可以与医疗保健提供者共享，以便进行更明智的对话。。

The Hearing Test builds on learnings from the Apple Hearing Study and was developed using large-scale, real-world data. The feature was then validated against the clinical gold standard of pure-tone audiometry.

听力测试建立在苹果听力研究的基础上，是使用大规模的真实数据开发的。然后根据纯音测听的临床黄金标准验证了该功能。
