7 times the Apple Watch predicted danger and saved a life in 2024
Briefly

Kamron Jones' Apple Watch frequently sent him alerts indicating his heart rate was abnormally high, which ultimately prompted him to visit the hospital. At only 22, Jones didn't expect the diagnosis and wouldn't have considered it possible without his Apple Watch. He mentioned that he would have ignored his mild symptoms if not for the watch's notifications -- it may have been too late to get the help he needed.
Frank Haggerty's Apple Watch SE sounded an alarm while he was asleep, warning him that his heart rate was around 30 beats per minute, much lower than the normal range of 60 to 100. Despite feeling fine, he was rushed to the emergency room, and a doctor found he had a 'complete heart block,' or an electrical system malfunction of the heart.
