Apple Watch, like many other smart wearable devices, has transformed into a vital health tool that can be a lifesaver. The heart rate monitor is one of the most important features of the Apple Watch. It is capable of ultimately enhancing the lifestyle of the user and can even be a lifesaver. The heart rate monitor looks like the standout sensor of the Apple Watch due to its importance in highlighting a user’s vital measurement and the ease of the interpretation of the readings.

A Norton Shores, Michigan woman Diane Feenstra, has apparently been saved from a potentially fatal heart attack after getting a very high heart rate reading from her Apple Watch even though she had not physically exerted herself. Her Apple Watch on the day of the incident logged a 169 beats/ minute reading, which led Diane to call her husband of 48 years, who immediately directed her to call a doctor.

Fortunately, she was taken to the hospital, where an ECG revealed that she had a heart attack due to a blocked widow artery, which is a fatal condition. Diane, after that, underwent a successful stent procedure, and she is back to her feet, thankful for the gift of the Apple Watch given her by her husband. Indeed, Diane first bought an Apple Watch gift for her husband, who reciprocated with an Apple Watch gift to his wife.

Smart wearable devices, including the lineup of Apple Watches, are increasingly used as health and fitness tools, among a host of several functionalities. Apart from the heart rate monitor, many other sensors provide vital measurements that could effectively gauge the user’s health status. The Fall Protection feature in Apple Watch is another feature that has also proved a lifesaver recently. Apple will continue to evolve features in its smartwatches that will stand them out and safeguard users’ lives.
