Apple recently unveiled a brief video highlighting Amanda, an Apple Watch user who claims her device saved her life. In 2024, Amanda started receiving alerts on her watch regarding an irregular heart rate. These alerts, concerning changes in her resting heart rate and overnight vitals, prompted Amanda to consult her physician. This led to her being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a severe form of cancer.
Following treatment, Amanda is now in remission. Amanda emphatically believes that the Apple Watch played a crucial role in her situation, stating, "I absolutely believe that if it wasn't for my Apple Watch, I wouldn't be talking to you." The Apple Watch continuously monitors heart rate and can issue alerts if a high heart rate is detected during rest.
It also flags low heart rates and irregular heart rhythms, and the embedded ECG app can identify atrial fibrillation.
