Apple Watch: A Life-Saving Device for Diabetics and Atrial Fibrillation Patients

An Oklahoma woman credits her Apple Watch for saving her life after it detected an irregular heart rhythm, which led her to seek medical attention. Initially dismissing it as stress-related, she was urged by her boss to see a doctor, where she was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and diabetes. Doctors discovered critically high blood sugars that could have been fatal if left untreated. The woman believes that if she had waited until the weekend, she may not have survived. She reached out to Apple CEO Tim Cook to share her story, and he responded expressing his happiness that the technology had helped save her life.
