I am going to sound like an advertisement, but this is true.
Last April I bought a family member an apple watch for their birthday. They are working out a lot trying to be healthy and it can monitor your heart rate etc. On Friday my daughter showed them how to turn on the continuous monitoring. Neat feature.
On Saturday this person was feeling really tired. They didn't feel bad, just sorta tired. But the watch was making an alarm. She mentioned it on Sundau and my daughter looked at it and it had a warning. We were able to download the rhythm strip that it kept during the alarm and there were two. I sent them to my sister, who is a cardiologist. She immediately told us to print the strips and go to the ER right away.
After being rushed in, hooked up and treated with meds, my family member was discharged with a referral to a cardiologist on an urgent basis.
Holy crap.
This family member has been exercising diligently for 3 or 4 years to get healthier, and is in better shape than they have been in years. I never would have expected this. But that little contraption really made a difference in our family.
I am sitting here reflecting on how lucky we were. Be well folks and get the watch.
