Apple, one of the first companies that comes to mind when technology ecosystem is mentioned, continues to work on the new model of the Apple Watch series, one of the most popular products in the smart watch world. Leaking information about the Apple Watch Series 8, which is expected to be introduced this year, tells us that there will be many innovations in the field of health. In addition to all this, an interesting Apple Watch study came from the Mayo Clinic.
Mayo Clinic:Apple Watch detects weak heart pump
As it is known, Apple Watch smart watches offer their users many features in the field of health and fitness. However, Apple’s smart watch has more features than you might think. A new study from the Mayo Clinic says the Apple Watch can do a lot more with the right algorithm.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic detected weak heart pumping that causes heart failure with the Apple Watch ECG feature. Stating that it has a very high success rate, the researchers stated that the situation can be detected early with a smart watch and that fatal risks such as heart attack can be prevented by warning the person.
Nearly 2500 people participated in the research conducted by Mayo Clinic. 125,610 EKG readings were taken from 11 countries via the Apple Watch. The accuracy of the data obtained was remarkable. One of the researchers, Dr. Itzhak Zachi Attia made the following statements in his statement.
We used this data to see if we could detect a weak heart pump with AI analysis of the clock ECG. Although our data was early, the test had an area below the 0.88 curve, meaning it was as good as or slightly better than a medical treadmill test. AI analysis of the clock EKG is a powerful test to identify a weak heart pump.
A step that Apple will take in this regard is actually of vital importance, but no statement has been made on the subject yet. However, the company, which focuses on the world of health and fitness in smart watches, is expected to take an initiative in this regard.
