It appears that the Apple Watch is still helping save lives. This time around, the smartwatch helped in detecting cancer in a 12 year old girl, which helped in saving her life in time. So here are all of the details.
According to a new report, a 12 year old girl named Imani Miles had her life saved by the Cupertino based giant’s smart wearable product. She noticed that her Apple Watch was constantly notifying her about her abnormally high heart rate. So after she received several alerts, the girl’s mother Jessica Kitchen felt that something was strange and possibly dangerous. So she took Imani Miles to the hospital for a check up. Here, Imani went through surgery for her appendicitis, but this wasn’t the end of her worries.
The doctors treating the girl found that her appendix had a neuroendocrine tumor. This tumor is rare to find in a person this young, but the medical experts discovered that the tumor had migrated into the other parts of Imani’s body. So, the doctors quickly rushed her into surgery that was necessary to remove cancer from her body. Fortunately, the surgery went well and Imani recovered from the surgery.
Her mother stated that if it weren’t for the Apple Watch she would likely have gone to the hospital much later. By this time, the cancer could’ve had worse impacts on the girl and possibly even been fatal. This isn’t the first time the device has saved lives and we can definitely expect more people to be saved by this piece of modern day technology in the future as well.
