Very cool to see how useful the Apple Watch can be with studies like these.

There's so much untapped potential in Apple Watch still to come with new sensors down the road.

Personally, I would love to see Apple venture into mental wellbeing - for example, imagine the watch is able to tell when you are stressed or anxious, and then it interrupts that unproductive pattern by offering instructions to breathe or meditate.

Could be a game changer for people who chronically worry or stress.

That feature already exists on Garmin Watches. I hope Apple will bring that feature to their watches one day.

I'm developing a flatulence detection app.

I give it 6 months.... 6 months tops until the BIG RUMOR that the Apple Watch will soon be able to treat erectile dysfunction.

Wasn’t this an issue with the App Store in the early days. Like 25% of the apps were fart apps?

Right. But they were "production" apps. This would be a "detection" app. Certainly the sound signatures wouldn't be too hard to catalog and analyze.
