When an Apple Watch identified anomalies in the user’s cardiac rhythm, it saved the life of a dentist.
Today, it is Apple (the brand, especially the watch) that alerts you to the need for a doctor’s appointment, rather than an apple a day. There have been a number of positive reviews of the Apple Watch’s health functions, which have the potential to save lives, throughout the years.
Nitesh Chopra, a dentist in India, was experiencing chest problems that encouraged him to try the Apple Watch Series 6’s electrocardiogram (ECG) feature. He saw a doctor after receiving alarming findings and was astonished to learn that he had a clogged artery.
Fortunately, he was able to obtain treatment early and is now on the road to recovery. After discovering a problem, Nitesh stated he was grateful for his Apple Watch and couldn’t thank it enough. The sooner a health concern like a clogged artery is discovered, the less probable it is to cause serious harm.
Nitseh says he didn’t expect the Apple Watch to save his life when he first started using it as a fashion piece and a way to keep track of his steps and the time. The precision of the data from the wearable amazed the dentist as well. They were “in sync,” and he was able to compare them to the ECG readings collected at the hospital.
Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, has gotten wind of the good news report. Apple CEO Tim Cook personally replied to Nitesh’s letter thanking him for using the Apple Watch, saying, “I’m very delighted you sought clinical assessment and got the treatment you requested. Thank you for using the Apple Watch.” It was a pleasure to hear your tale, and we thank you for doing so.”
Apple Watches have been credited for saving people’s lives before, and this isn’t the first. Users have reported success in the past with the wristwatch in detecting anything from lung cancer to thyroid disorders. With that being said, smartwatches aren’t meant to be your exclusive source of medical guidance, but their early detection of potential health issues may make all the difference.
After being diagnosed with a dangerous ailment that the wearable had previously identified, a nursing student went to TikTok earlier this year to urge other Apple Watch owners to activate heart rate tracking. Wow, that’s a smart watch.
Neha thanked Tim Cook in an email after the medical emergency for saving Nitesh’s life. As a result, Cook responded, “I’m really delighted you sought clinical assessment and obtained the treatment you requested. Thank you for letting me know.” We appreciate you taking the time to tell us your experience. Happy day, everyone. Tim’s best wishes.”
When it comes to saving the lives of its wearers, the Apple Watch has been well praised throughout the last several years. These other instances include an Australian nursing student’s Apple Watch recognising thyroid problem signs months before they were diagnosed and it alerted emergency services when a guy fell off an electric bike while he was on his way home from work.
