The doctors’ diagnosis was “internal bleeding.”
He apple watch he becomes an expert in saving lives. Apple’s smartwatch is able to save the lives of its users in more than 10 different ways, thanks to the implementation of functions such as heart rate monitoring, fall detection, sleep monitoring or detection of car accidents, among others.
Now the smartwatch can add one more user to its endless list of registered users. Recently the Apple Watch saved the life of a user who was suffering from internal bleeding detected by an irregular heartbeat. This user shared their story on Reddit under the caption “Okay my Apple Watch 7 just saved my life”.
Your Apple Watch detected a rapid heartbeat while you were taking a nap
According to a story shared by Reddit user “digitalmofo” on the r/Apple Watch subreddit, last week he left his iPhone and Apple Watch on Do Not Disturb mode and when he went to eat he felt so tired that he decided to take a nap.
After her nap, she checked her notifications and realized that her devices had up to 10 alerts related to your heart rate. The heart rate monitoring feature of his Apple Watch Series 7 had detected that his heart rate was accelerating.
He took the day off and lay on the couch, but the notifications kept coming. So he decided to call his doctor and after checking his heartbeat and oxygen levels, he called 911. The doctors diagnosed him with “severe internal bleeding”his hemoglobin level was higher than 3g/dL while their normal levels would be 15 g/dL.
According to the doctors, if he had not arrived in time for a blood transfusionI wouldn’t be alive to talk about it.
Other Reddit users took the opportunity to tell their stories in the comments. One of them rightly shared an interesting analogy about the functionality of the Apple Watch (the best camera is the one you carry with you) which may not be better than the devices available in the hospitals, but which are very useful at the moment.
The Apple Watch is able to monitor heart rate, track the menstrual cycle, measure aerobic capacity levels, measure blood oxygen, and even perform an electrocardiogram. There are many ways to save lives, and there is no better device than one that has the ability to save a life.
