Last November we announced the development of a program of the Stanford University Medicine Society, to carry out the development and monitoring of the behaviors of the body, to those users who will lend themselves to share their information from the Apple Watch with the organization.
Today we have known that they are being sent Email invitations to US members who were interested in the program. The participants did not have to have suffered any heart problems and had to download the Apple Heart Study app to enroll. From there, the Apple Watch will do the rest.
Once registered and received confirmation, The app will monitor your heart rate and rhythm. In case of detecting any anomaly in our body, a notification will be activated. After her, we can conduct a free video chat with cardiologists.
In addition to data collection, when checking the physical condition after this heart problem, the specialist can send certain checks to the watch to verify the possible seriousness of the matter.
Unfortunately, this program is limited to residents of the US where you have permission to operate the Stanford institute. What's more, You must be 22 years of age or older and use an Apple Watch Series 1, 2 or 3, with watchOS 4 or later, every day. Therefore, the only ones left out are the users of the first Apple Watch, who for technical reasons cannot participate.
This Apple initiative in collaboration with Stanford University, joins collaborations with insurance companies, which subsidize Apple's watch, in exchange for taking out Life insurance. This subsidy depends on the physical exercise carried out by the insured, therefore, if you lead a healthy life, the watch can come out at a very competitive price if you take out the insurance with this company.
Apple's approach to health, thanks to the tools of the Apple Watch, is undeniable. Surely in other later versions we will see new initiatives in this regard.
