Apple has repeatedly been under threat for its health-related features, namely its oxygen sensor on its Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2, as well as its heart rate app. In October 2023, the International Trade Commission concluded that Apple’s oxygen sensor violated patents owned by Masimo, a California-based medical technology company. In March 2024, the Justice Department sued Apple for monopolizing heart rate apps on its app store. Since then, Apple has lost the case for patent violation and has to disable the oxygen sensor on all Apple Watches manufactured henceforth, but did win the monopoly suit. 

The loss of the patent violation case leaves new Apple Watch purchasers no native option for monitoring their blood oxygen content. But fear not – although there is nothing that can directly measure the oxygen content and interface with the apple watch, there is an alternative – ​​the Viatom Wellue WearO2 PO1 Wearable Waterproof Pulse Oximeter can connect to Apple and Android products. Additionally with six years on the market and sold in over one hundred countries, the AURA Strap 2 can measure many other health metrics: the percentage of fat, muscle, protein, bones, and water. 

The AURA Strap 2 can sync with the Apple HealthKit app and also with its own app in case the Apple HealthKit is under threat in the future. It can give tailored guidance and workout advice to help you gain your ideal body.
