Apple Watch has been credited a lot of times for saving the life of its users. The smart watch is again in the news whose helps its users to detect a medical condition.

25-year-old Zachary Zies has his Apple Watch to thank for saving his life on Thanksgiving weekend.

The recent Ohio State University graduate Zies is said to have been suffering from a genetic disease called Friedreich’s Ataxia.

The disorder attacks some vital parts of the body including the spine, the brain, and the heart. These organs are no doubt essential to the normal functioning of the body and would result in problems with walking and talking.

The Apple Watch’s heart rate monitor on his Apple Watch detected a high resting heart rate for Zies said to be in the tune of 210 beats per minute.

This is super high considering that the resting heart rate for a well-trained athlete is in the region of 40 per minute.

The Watch saved the life of a 67-year-old man in Norway last year who fainted while home alone and suffered a hard fall in his bathroom. But as he was wearing his Apple Watch Series 4, first responders were automatically alerted. They are a few more examples of this wearable saving lives, from a man in the UK by promptly detecting low heart rate to saving two stranded Kayakers at sea with the Emergency SOS feature.
