The Apple Watch notifies a happy user about its potentially fatal diseases

The Apple Watch did it again when Apple saved a different life. What life rescue function did the device use this time? Was it autumn detection (which she doesn't inform you when the season has drawn from summer to autumn)? Crash recognition? The heart rate meter? The EKG? Emergency -SOS? Would you like to take a guess? If you have guessed the heart rate knife, you are right.

Mike Gomez wore his Apple Watch because he used her to follow his workouts, in particular the number of calories he burned during a session. When the last month of 2025 became in 2024, Gomez received notifications about his Apple Watch, which made him aware of a problem with his heart rate. If that was not scary enough, Mike received five subsequent notifications that warns that he was in the atrial fibrillation, also as an irregular heartbeat that is usually too fast.

While it feels like fluttering in her chest, Afib is a serious illness that, according to the American Heart Association, affects more than 5 million Americans. It can lead to the creation of blood clots in the heart that cause strokes, heart attacks and heart failure.

Gomez did the right one and instead of ignoring the notifications, he went to the doctor and it was good that he did it. After the examination, the doctor told him that he was in serious atrial fibrillation. Fortunately, the doctors were able to receive the treatment he needed. Gomez was said that if he had not made the appointment, he could have experienced a lifelong stroke.

Mike was not the only person who learned a lesson from the incident. Gomez 'daughter Jazmin said: “It definitely opened my eyes on how to spend more time with you, and I definitely appreciate you much more for everything you do.”

The Apple Watch when it was released for the first time in April 2015 Apple as a fashion jewelry. But as a user like Mike Gomez used the health tools to save their lives, the clock became more of a life -saving tool that could be worn on the wrist of the users. It should be pointed out (which is why I do it now) that many other smartwatches have the same functions and skills of the Apple Watch and that life of life is not limited to Apple's watch.
