Reply to comment by Narberal_Delta in Doctor is ‘not a crazy Apple person’ and recommends lifesaving Apple Watch to every patient by prehistoric_knight

When Apple watch was relatively new I was at the office and one of the guys was stressed, yelling and going off to himself about some project which is common for him to do ... Then he suddenly stops yelling mid sentence ... A few seconds later we hear him quietly say "my apple watch says I have an elevated heart rate and I need to relax".

We all cracked up so bad.

I had a baby in April, got my Apple Watch on my birthday in January. It determined that for two weeks after I had my baby, my average resting heart rate changed, and notified me. I was amazed because the rate of change began on my baby’s birthdate.

It’s also notified me that I’ve had a higher heart rate and asked if I was okay on two separate occasions. Once after getting my tetanus vaccine, when I was running a fever, and the other time was when I had Covid. It was my first symptom and I didn’t even know it until my watch notified me. Pretty cool technology, in my opinion!
