AppleWatch can now tell if you’re washing your hands 👐
Watch has a new feature to help combat COVID-19, sensing that a person wearing the watch is washing their hands and then ensuring they keep washing for the recommended 20 seconds.
“Our approach here is using machine learning models to determine motion which appears to be hand washing,” Apple VP of technology Kevin Lynch said Monday during the company’s Worldwide Developers Conference, “and then we use audio to confirm the sound of running water or squishing soap on your hands.”
During the washing, he added, the watch will count down 20 seconds , offer coaching to encourage thoroughness and then light up with a “well done” message at the end. When you’re done, “you’ll see, feel and hear it” with various notifications. Lynch rolled out the feature and other new Watch wrinkles during WWDC, a tentpole event where a host of innovations are unveiled by the tech giant. Highlights included a new operating system for the iPhone, iOS14, which will have its public beta release in July, as well as a long-anticipated switch from Intel processors to in-house chips.
