Smart watches become health tools

R Rajhans, a retired pharma professional living in Indore, had a lucky escape as the ECG app in his Apple Watch alerted him about an atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat). This prompted him to immediately visit a cardiologist, which led to a surgery that saved his life.

Rajhans’s son wrote to Apple CEO Tim Cook, and was pleasantly surprised when Cook responded back, saying, “Thank you for sharing this. I am happy to note that your father received medical attention in time and I hope he is feeling better now.”
