La WWDC 2021 hinted at the new steps in user health monitoring that Apple wants to integrate into its new operating systems. Two of the main novelties were the incorporation of stability monitoring and the option of sharing health data with our family members. However, Apple's vice president of technologies, Kevin Lynch, has assured in an interview that AirPods have great potential to integrate new sensors that allow the monitoring of health parameters. In addition, that would allow combining data from different sensors and devices. With the aim of further improving this monitoring which, together with good software, would improve information to users.

Integrating and combining sensors, Apple's next step with AirPods?

The information is extracted from an interview that the medium did TechCrunch current Apple VP of Technology Kevin Lynch. This public figure associated with the great corporate minds of Apple is central to the development of Apple Watch software and we are used to seeing him on stage in keynotes. It is responsible for leading the news of watchOS with a single goal: to get rid of our phone more and more.

In the interview they talked about the importance of data fusion of different products and their sensors with the aim of providing quality information to users. For example, when iOS analyzes the progress of a user, it uses the iPhone and the Apple Watch with their sensors so that, once combined, they give the most accurate information possible. What's more, the improvements in the Health app, the improvement of the sensors and their algorithms takes a further step in data sampling.

A future based on sensors and information transversality

In Kevin Lynch's last intervention, he assured that today sensor fusion is used on iOS and watchOS. The question was in relation to the implication that the AirPods could have in the integration of a greater number of sensors and the collection of quality information. Kevin Lynch assured that in the AirPods "There is a whole potential to exploit." The door is left ajar for the arrival of new AirPods, according to rumors, which could integrate new functions related to health monitoring.
