These stories have already happened many times. But it is always necessary to count them and remember that the Apple Watch is more than just a beautiful watch that does everything, even tell the time. One of the functions in which it stands out above all and its competitors is in health. The clock saves a person's life again thanks to the heart sensor.
The Apple Watch Series 6 has recently been launched with the functions of the series 5 improved and including a new one, such as the measurement of oxygen in blood. A function introduced almost in a forced way because of the pandemic that we are suffering. This function complements the previous ones, especially heart rate measurement where problems can be detected.
This is precisely what has happened again and again we are aware that this time a 25-year-old from Ohio, A patient with Friedreich's ataxia (an autosomal-recessive genetic disease that causes problems with walking and impaired speech) has seen a doctor because the Apple Watch has warned him that something was wrong. His pulse has skyrocketed to 210 beats per minute at rest.
Indeed when arriving at the hospital, the doctors have detected a cardiac anomaly. He needed an arterial ablation to correct an arterial flutter. Right now he is recovering from the operation satisfactorily and is at 90%. So we can say and assure that is a new hit for the Apple Watch.
The story of this young man will add to those already existing and collected by Apple in videos where several people tell their own experiences and how the Apple Watch has helped them to move forward. It sure is not the last that we have the pleasure of telling, because these stories are a real joy and it is always satisfying to discuss them.
