>You said “medical help”

No, I didn't say that either. You're trying so hard to shoehorn words into my mouth and you're failing because this is text.

The entire gist of my statements are that an Apple Watch is not a medical device, shouldn't be trusted as one, and people referring to it as such should not be trusted either.

You've literally made up everything else here.

I know what an Apple watch is and what it's capable of doing. I said it's not a medical device. Medical benefits are a different story. Many non-medical devices have medical benefits. There's a big difference there.

Do you generally reply to people without actually reading their words? I said nothing about medical benefits.

>An Apple Watch has sensors that can help in predicting afib

The article does not cover afib at all. What are you talking about? I only engaged with the AED because it's an actual medical device, which an Apple watch is not.

Sophomoric insults are a sure sign of a loser losing an argument.

Have a great day.

Yeah a sensor in the actual medical device called an AED - Automatic Electronic Defibrillator - determines that, not an Apple smartwatch.

>Right just like a stethoscope does.

The stethoscope is useless without a trained professional using it because anyone else is simply guessing at what they hear.
