A Texas resident, Mike Gomez, was alerted by his Apple Watch to a dangerously high heart rate and atrial fibrillation (Afib), a life-threatening heart condition.
Gomez visited a doctor who confirmed he had severe Afib, which could have been deadly if left untreated.
Wearable technology, like the Apple Watch, is helping in monitoring heart health, tracking heart rhythm, sleep patterns, and activity levels, and detecting incidents like falls and crashes.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has praised the Apple Watch for its impact on saving lives, making real-time health tracking easily accessible.
