Apple Smartwatch saves man’s life by reporting abnormal heart rate

Jorge Cox, a 22 year old student was warned by his apple smartwatch that his heart was beating at a rate of over 130 beats per minute, which is much higher than the usual 60-100 beats per minute.

Cox initially blamed the amount of coffee he was having to cope up with his exams as the cause of his high heart rate. “I only mentioned it in passing to a nurse who was prepping me for a tonsillectomy because she asked if I had any history of heart problems.” he added.
