A few months ago, a 36-year-old named Adam Croft, residing in Flitwick, Bedfordshire, had a startling experience. One evening, he woke up feeling slightly dizzy, but as he made his way to the kitchen for some water, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sensation of the world closing in around him. His body was drenched in a cold sweat. Despite these alarming symptoms, he went back to sleep, thinking nothing to worry about. The following morning, he discovered that his smartwatch had been consistently alerting him throughout the night about an irregular heartbeat. His smartwatch had advised him to seek immediate medical attention at the hospital.
Subsequent examinations at Bedford Hospital definitively confirmed Croft’s AFib (Atrial fibrillation) diagnosis, which was life-threatening. In his interview with BBC, he revealed that he might not have sought medical help if his Apple Watch didn’t alert him timely.
Surprising, isn’t it?
This incident is just one of many instances where smartwatches have played a crucial role in saving people’s lives by notifying users about their deteriorating health conditions, ranging from cardiac irregularities to blood pressure imbalances and oxygen level anomalies. These wearable devices are now superheroes in our daily lives, and their importance cannot be overstated.
India, the land of vibrant cultures and flavours, is fast catching the smartwatch fever too! Indians are becoming more conscious about their health and body fitness than ever before, resulting in soaring demand for smartwatches over the past few years.
