If we had any doubts about the possibilities of the Apple Watch in the field of the health of its users, with this new study that came to light a few hours ago, it is resolved. At Apple they have a team of five employees working side by side with five employees from Eli Lilly and five from Evidation to help detect the first signs of dementia and try to treat this cruel disease as soon as possible.
Actually at Apple they already have various open fronts related to health issues and the ECG sensor implemented in the watch, along with the fall detector and other options available in the device make it a team focused on health and well-being. This time we try to detect the first symptoms of dementia in time thanks to the watch and the iPhone.
Detecting and treating the disease as soon as possible is always very important
In this case, the study revealed by the CNBC shows several work teams, including one from Apple, and the reason for this is to detect the disease as early as possible in order to treat it. In the study, the different teams received an iPhone along with an Apple Watch and a Beddit brand sleep monitor. The aim is to use these devices with several people who initially did not apparently have any type of disease and others who did suffer from a mild symptom of cognitive impairment.
The group formed by 82 people were studied with various results and the signs of less mental agility were detected by the specialists when they saw the number of messages sent by each other, in addition, several of them wrote them more slowly and this was obviously in the 31 patients with this mild symptom detected. These are some of the first tests carried out but they will need to work much more on it to be able to develop this technology that would undoubtedly be another point to implement in the Apple Watch and the iPhone.
