There are times when the everyday object can be an unexpected participant. As part of the fight against COVID-19, which results in the greatest loss of human capital in the world, we find in our environment the great truth behind that phrase. For example, the pull mask that allows us to breathe underwater, the elements that allow our cars to take us to many places, and now, the Apple Watch that helps us a lot in our process.
As far as we know so far, the COVID-19 virus often causes flu-like symptoms, but in severe cases it can lead to pneumonia and acute respiratory stress syndrome, among other problems. Therefore, tools such as the oximeter are essential to know the emergence of patients, since value the level of oxygen in the blood. And this is where the Apple Watch comes in.
By using an important wake-up call On Twitter by @SoyEduSanchez Apple asked emergency operation of built-in oximeters on the Apple Watch. And that all of our watches have incorporated this technology for some years, as they have pointed out from pages like iFixit in the past, but Apple has not yet implemented the software. This move will be important to help provide hospitals at critical times like this.
I live in Spain, many hospitals have run out of pulse oximeter, hardware level clocks for apple that incorporate this type of sensor. Please @apple, I need you to uninstall URGENT UPDATE for activating this sensor. We're out of date, please

Therefore, let's try to reach the right groups together at a Californian company to see if this thing might work. All the help is minimal, and all the grain of sand is essential to regaining the shape of our society, strengthened after a crisis like this. And if we can help those who work to protect us, we should not hesitate to do so.
