A new study has found that Apple's AirPods may be capable of estimating respiratory rates by listening to a user's breathing.

Apple began discussing integrating health sensors into future sports-oriented headphones in a patent application that was published back in April 2009 and filed in 2008. Apple's engineers noted at the time that "The sensor can also be other than (or in addition to) an activity sensor, such as a psychological or biometric sensors which could measure temperature, heartbeat, etc. of a user of the monitoring system." After filing a series of patents in 2020-2021 on AirPods with health sensors, earlier this month Apple's Machine Learning (ML) Research team published a technical paper on u...

Can headphones be used for health purposes? In the past, we have seen how some companies have built sensors into their earphones or headphones that...

Conclusion (~1,700 words). All backed up by over 200 references (~6,500 words). We must stop crediting the wrong people for inventions made by others. Instead let's heed the recent call in the journal Nature: "Let 2020 be the year in which we value those who ensure that science is self-correcting"[SV20]. Like those who know me can testify, finding and citing original sources of scientific and technological innovations is important to me, whether they are mine or other people's [DL1][DL2][HIN][NASC1-9].
