The next version of the Apple Watch is also probably going to include blood oxygen level monitoring with the ability to alert users if it drops below a healthy level, similar to the existing min/max heart rate alerts.
Though, really, I think the biggest benefit of wearables expanding into this space is that they're not 'old people products' like Life Alert. A generally healthy 60-year-old person who doesn't want to 'seem old' is going to be far more comfortable wearing an Apple Watch or similar device, and far more likely to do so consistently.

Ok but this is clearly well past just a "wellness" device, if they are providing these features with these claims, are they going to certify it as a "Medical Device" ? Will they submit it through FDA/CE approval ?
