Apple Watch predicted heart attack
Another technological product helps in medical prevention
“Smartwatches are even getting medical alerts and monitoring blood pressure, heart rate and other body function.” With these new technological developments, patients have better access to key health information when they may need it most. Today, we learn about how an Apple Watch saved a man’s life during his heart attack. The watch was able to detect it even when doctors had failed to do so.
Scott had been feeling sluggish and wasn’t sure what was happening. Just a week before his 50th birthday, Scott took a blood test to analyze the levels of cholesterol in his blood and discovered he had high levels of cholesterol. All his tests came back clean, indicating that the doctors have given him a clean bill of health and can continue on with his daily life.
This is in stark contrast to a few days later, when during the night, Scott’s Apple Watch alerted him via the third-party HeartWatch app that his heart rate was elevated. After a visit to the hospital, Scott’s doctors discovered that he had heart attack symptoms. His doctor told him that most people won’t wake up if they don’t get medical help and if his Apple Watch hadn’t woken him up, he may never have woke up.
