Apple Watch’s ECG feature saves Indore resident’s life

For several years, Apple Watch has been making headlines around the world for saving hundreds of lives with the timely notification; more so, with the introduction Electrocardiogram (ECG) app in the Watch Series 4 (and newer versions).

Now, a senior citizen in India has been saved by Apple’s smart wearable. Several months ago. Siddharth Rajhans had gifted a Watch Series 5 to his father, R Rajhans (61), a retired pharma professional in Indore, Madhya Pradesh.

In early March, R Rajhans felt really unwell and decided to check his ECG app on the Apple Watch Series 5 (review), and to his shock, it showed Atrial Fibrillation (AFib). He had hypertension, but no history of any other heart conditions. So, just to be sure, Rajhans used the ECG app again a couple of times and the results came out the same.
