The next time you feel a rising heartbeat, you should consult your Apple watch. The Apple Watch came to the rescue of a 35-year-old Delhi-based woman helping her to avoid a major health-related issue. With insights from IANS in April Sneha Sinha, a 35-year-old, policy researcher, went through something that could be easily called a close call.
On April 9, Sneha Saha started experiencing a rapid heart rate and assumed it to be a panic attack due to stress. She started doing deep breathing exercises and drinking water but the issue remained. When the heart palpitations didn’t stop, she wore her Apple watch, to assess her condition which advised her to visit a doctor.
She chose to ignore that too. However, around midnight Apple Watch alerted Sneha to visit a doctor immediately due to extremely high heart rate (230 bpm) and onset of AFib.

What did Apple Watch predict?
Reportedly, Sneha was rushed to the nearest emergency centre in her area where the doctors examining her could not read her pulse. Eventually, they gave her three rounds of direct shock of up to 100 joules to get her heart beating again. Once successfully done, Sneha was shifted to ICU to monitor her condition and ensure that she didn’t have a relapse of the rapid heart rate.
Sneha got a close-up experience of its ability and was thankful as the Apple Watch alerted her about the issue which was examined and taken care of by the doctors.

“Had the Apple Watch not alerted me of the serious condition around midnight, I would not have gone to the hospital and would have lost my life,” she was quoted saying in a report.
After returning home from the hospital, Sneha emailed CEO Tim Cook, thanking him and his team for making the Apple Watch a reliable fitness gear that can record accurate data. “ I got a response back from Cook where he thanked me for sharing the story. He was relieved that I got medical attention and the right treatment for my sudden health issue,” Sneha told IANS.
This is not the first time the Apple Watch has helped save a life. With the advanced technology in Apple smartwatches, industry expert suggests that more updates will be added to it.
