The Apple Watch is called 'amazing' by a man whose life was saved by the timepiece as doctors discovered blood clots all over his lungs.
) recently ran a story about a man named Ken Counihan who loved to use his Apple Watch. With the device on his wrist, Counihan would track his workouts and listen to music using his Apple timepiece."I am very active and I do — I like to keep track of what I'm doing — calorie stuff. I'll take it off and charge it so that I can wear it during the day...I wear it to bed as well — keep track of sleep too."But the routine that Ken had with his Apple Watch changed last October.
"My blood oxygen—which is normally mid-90s, which is what is supposed to be, kind of 95 and up—started to get out to the mid-80s," Counihan said."It was 10 o'clock at night. My wife was very concerned. My son was very concerned. I was like 'I just want to go to bed. I'm tired…and they were both like 'No, you've got to get to the ER.
Dr. Franjic said that she sees more patients coming into the ER with test results from their smartwatches and other devices. She says,"We do have patients that come in and they do notice these trends of 'my heart rate's higher than usual' or 'it's showing me that... I'm having an abnormal rhythm.
Counihan not only credits the Apple Watch with saving his life, but he also has friends who bought the device because of what happened to him."I just had dinner with a friend the other night...and he's looking to get an Apple Watch now as well. It saved my life. It's amazing."New reasons to get excited every weekSubscribe
