This Time Apple Watch Saved a Young Girl's Life

The device detected heart disease and saved a 12-year-old's life after noticing her irregular heartbeat. Her parents, who informed the young girl, immediately recognized the situation and rushed to medical help. This was when she was diagnosed with an early stage of cancer, which allowed her to receive timely treatment.

The report was recently published in Hour Detriot. And the patient was identified as 12-year-old Jessica Kitchen. The Apple-owned device began alerting the young girl to an abnormally high heart rate. Her mother went on to say how the device continued to work routinely and that's why she referred her for a checkup at the doctor's office.

Doctors found a tumor inside the appendix, a rare occurrence in children his age. But more bad news came when the cancer started to spread to other parts of the body. Because of this, he had to have surgery twice.

The young girl's mother says the Apple watch was a savior as it constantly postponed their visit to the hospital. But the constant beeping was an alarm that needed to be visited soon, and if they had waited longer, it could have been very fatal.

Meanwhile, another leading phenomenon in the world of digital health says that these fancy wearables not only look great but are also very useful. They literally help improve people's health and help them understand their body's normal and abnormal behavior.
