Smart watches, which are at the forefront of wearable technologies, are equipped with more innovative features each time, leading to developments in entertainment and health. Especially the features developed by Apple make Apple Watch models more advanced. We have seen Apple Watch save lives a few times before. Now, Apple Watch saved a pregnant woman and her baby with its ECG feature. Here are the details…
Health problem detected with Apple Watch ECG feature
Apple Watch, which makes headlines every year for the lives it saves or the features it offers, this time saved a pregnant woman and her baby. A woman named Rachel Manalo became aware of a health problem in her heart thanks to the ECG (Electrocardiogram) feature of the Apple Watch.
Manalo, who is 18 weeks pregnant, felt a rapid heartbeat and stated that these symptoms had been going on for weeks. After these symptoms, Manalo decided to use the ECG or Electrocardiogram feature by wearing her Apple Watch and measured the electrical activity of her heart.
New health sensors: Apple Watch Series 10 expected features!
Apple Watch Series 10, which is expected to be introduced by Apple, will attract attention with its new features. Here are the expected features of Apple Watch 10.
The Apple Watch gave an “Inconclusive” result. According to the watch’s results, Manalo’s heart was beating at a rate of 150 bpm for more than 40 minutes. The ECG app advised the pregnant woman to see a doctor, who diagnosed her with ventricular tachycardia (when the heart beats very quickly in a more organized pattern, rather than in an irregular rhythm).
Here is what Manalo said: “I was feeling tired and out of breath. I clicked on the ECG function on my watch. And then I put my finger on the button and then I put my arm on the table.” The doctor said that such heart problems can lead to a heart attack if not taken care of, and that the patient is at greater risk because she is pregnant.
Although Apple Watch is not considered a medical examination, it can give an idea thanks to such health features. So what do you think about this? You can share your thoughts in the comments.
