The Apple Watch is much more than a smart watch and on some occasions there have already been cases in which this watch has literally saved the lives of its owners. For some it may seem silly that the Apple Watch warns us of an abnormal heart rate at a specific time, but this could save our lives.
There are several studies carried out with the Apple Watch that warn of the spectacular function of anomalies in the heart rate of the Apple Watch, in the case of the University of California and the University of San Francisco, it was found that this watch is capable of detecting these Heart problems with 97% accuracy and therefore it is a very good tool to control our health.
Being calm and having our beats per minute (BPM) change is a bad sign
One of the main health problems today is related to our heart and the possibility of detecting these changes in heart rhythm can save our lives or detect a coronary disease. The fact is that the Apple Watch is able to detect these changes and send us a notice as long as we have these notifications active on the deviceFor this, when our heart rate remains above or below a certain number of beats per minute when we are inactive for a period of 10 minutes, the Apple Watch will notify us.
To activate these notifications and detect problems in our heart rate we can go to iPhone in the Apple Watch app:
- Click on the Heart and heart rate option
- Now we can configure the LPM that we want both in the high and low
- We group the notifications by app or automatically and that's it
In this way, when the Apple Watch detects an increase in heart rate beyond the indicated parameters, it will notify us by means of a notification that something is wrong. From that moment on, the decision to go to the doctor will depend on you and how you are feeling, but if this happens frequently, it is best to see your doctor.
