AirPods are one of Apple’s most popular products, and is not for less. These wireless headphones offer great sound quality, an easy and fast connection with the brand’s devices, and a comfortable and elegant design. But what if on top of all that, the AirPods had health sensors?
This is the idea that has been on the minds of many users and experts for some time, and that could soon come true. According to various rumors and patents registered by Apple, the company would be working on incorporate biometric sensors into your headsetwhich could monitor aspects such as heart rate, blood oxygen level, or body posture.
AirPods health sensors will be very useful
These health functions could be very useful for people who practice sports or who want to take care of their physical and mental well-being. AirPods could let us know if we have poor posture when sitting or walking, if our heart beats too fast or too slow, or if we need to breathe more deeply to oxygenate our body.
Besides, AirPods could sync with iPhone or Apple Watch to send data collected by sensors to the Health app, where we could see our history and follow our evolution. Thus, we would have a more complete and precise control of our health without the need to carry other additional devices.
It won’t be something that comes soon…
However, it is not all good news. Putting more sensors in such small devices is very complex. Therefore, we would have to wait for future generations of AirPods to see this innovation.
So that, AirPods could gain health sensors soon but not as soon as we’d like. This is a very exciting and promising feature that could revolutionize the wireless headset market and add value to Apple products. Meanwhile we will continue to enjoy the surround sound and active noise cancellation offered by the AirPods Pro.
