After Apple in recent months, various experts for sensors in health and so-called wearables hired, the next expert goes to Apple and probably extended the iWatch team.

Before Raymann joining Apple, he worked as a senior scientist at Philips Research and worked on several sleep-related projects. He founded the Philips Sleep Experience Laboratoy, a non-clinical sleep laboratory, and conducted various projects for sleep monitoring. In short: Raymann possesses the necessary experience and is an expert in his field.

Apple could use this accumulated know-how to use the iWatch for sleep monitoring. And by the movement of the blood pressure of the user's sleep could be monitored and improved. This would be comparable to some extent with the Jawbone Up . This activity tracker measures the nocturnal movement and displays them on the iPhone

Already in the last days we are intensively discussed the topic iWatch. Apple has hired numerous sensor experts in recent months and a recent report suggests that Apple released iOS 8 an app called "Health Book" , which monitors the vital signs of the user. (via )
