The Apple Watch has had a very pleasant and life-saving run in recent months with the raft of stories that have elevated the Apple smart wearable to the status of a life-saver. Right from the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in early 2020, a study showed that the Apple Watch was capable of identifying potential COVID-19 symptoms up to 10 days before the actual onset of the disease. Its fame has continued to grow and the news that the Apple Watch was able to detect the change in the health status of a TikTok user will add further hype to the device.
The Sidney-based TikTok is named Lauren and she made a video indicating that her Apple Watch detected changes in her heart rate and other body functions that correlated with the later diagnosis of her thyroid condition. The woman says that had she turned on notifications on her Apple Watch, she could have been notified of the situation several months before the eventual diagnosis. The increase in her stress levels occasioned by reduced intake of oxygen detected by her Apple Watch coincided with other symptoms like fatigue, irritability, sensitivity, among several other symptoms.
Lauren says that the Apple Watch, from her recent experience, could prove helpful in situations where extended stress levels could be indicative of more serious medical conditions. The device could assist in fast-tracking diagnoses when the user seeks prompt medical attention, rather than waiting for the full symptoms to become visible.
The collection of sensors in the Apple Watch provides a raft of critical health and fitness measurements that puts the device on the top echelon of life-saving smart wearables. Its record continues to grow, with the Apple Watch’s fall detection mechanism the major life-saving feature in the smartwatch.
