Mayo Clinic: Apple Watch detects weak heart pump
As it is known, Apple Watch smart watches offer many features in the field of health and fitness to its users. However, Apple’s smart watch has more features than you might think. A new study from the Mayo Clinic says the Apple Watch can do a lot more with the right algorithm.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have detected weak heart pumping that causes heart failure with the Apple Watch EKG feature. Stating that it has a very high success rate, the researchers stated that the situation can be detected early with a smart watch and that fatal risks such as heart attack can be prevented by warning the person.
Close to 2500 people participated in the research conducted by the Mayo Clinic. 125,610 EKG readings were taken from 11 countries via the Apple Watch. The accuracy of the data obtained was remarkable. One of the researchers, Dr. Itzhak Zachi Attia made the following statements in his statement.
We leveraged this data to see if we could detect a weak heart pump with AI analysis of the clock EKG. Although our data was early, the test had an area below the 0.88 curve, meaning it was as good as or slightly better than a medical treadmill test. AI analysis of the clock EKG is a powerful test to identify a weak heart pump.
A step that Apple will take in this regard is actually of vital importance, but there has been no statement on the subject yet. However, the company, which focuses on the world of health and fitness in smart watches, is expected to take an initiative in this regard.
