If you have an Apple Watch, you will be thinking that this function already has your Apple Watch. But Apple wants to go further, covering any anomalies you may suffer. Aware of health, has launched the application Apple Heart Study. Using ResearchKit technology and the Apple Watch's heart rate sensor, we can collect data on irregular heart rhythms. The same application is responsible for notifying users that they are suffering a coronary anomaly. What's more, if an abnormality is detected, we receive a free consultation with a physician and an EKG patch.
At the moment it is only available in the US app store for customers over 22 years old. This study is designed for people who have not had any pathology. For Apple, the study is led first-hand by Jeff Williams, Apple's chief operating officer, who relayed to the media:
Every week we receive amazing letters from customers about how the Apple Watch has affected their lives. These stories inspire us and we are determined to do more to help people understand their health… By working together with the medical community, we can not only inform people of certain health conditions, we also hope to advance the discoveries of science from the heart.
Thanks to green LED sensors that blink hundreds of times from our Apple Watch, detects the amount of blood flowing through our wrist. For this work, Apple works closely with the Stanford University. The Dean of Stanford School of Medicine said:
Through the Apple Heart Study, Stanford Medicine faculty will explore how Apple Watch heart rate sensor technology can help usher in a new era of proactive healthcare… We are excited to be working with Apple on this revolutionary study of the heart.
We hope that Apple reaches agreements with communities other than those in the US to enjoy the service that can contribute so much to our health.
