So Masimo is not a patent troll, but the idea that they will make a health watch with the scale of Apple Watch is a ridiculous notion.
As a retired physician, so many of my patients and colleagues were using Apple Watch and specifically the pulse oximeter to monitor their health, especially my pulmonary patients with COPD & ILD. And my father when he was in hospice. It was critical for letting individuals know if they needed to seek medical help when they were in the throes of COVID in the beginning and middle of the pandemic as another example.
There is real harm to this. I just hope at the end of the day this is just put through arbitration and if Apple is violating Masimo patents, there is a FRAND settlement so both companies can just get on with their lives.
Even if Masimo has aspirations to make a health watch, I guarantee you that Apple will be looking for an opportunity to counter sue for any thing that resembles an Apple Watch.
So yeah BS.
