Fucking human

It's not my doctor, but when I saw Glenview, I was like oh... That's a few mins from here. I'm not an Apple person, so maybe I'll avoid this Dr.

Dr’s are notoriously narrow sighted… cardiologists will recommend all sorts of shit that the psychiatrist will 100% say not to do. Like… “Apple Watch helps monitor my heart! Must be good!” Psychiatrist “yeah… checking your watch every 8 seconds to see who liked your post, or checking your pulse is going to give you massive anxiety, we suggest you keep technology off your body, so your mind can rest”

I do, that’s a solid 6 mins of exercise minutes when I’m power scrubbing

Ya that’s expensive

It's big push is around the new ultra version. Most will have something but the ultra professes to have it all. But it's a pricy and big lump

It's why I use my boring old non lifesaving Garmin smartwatch and have 25 days of battery

Yea….they are actuate.

As accurate as a cardiologist interpretation of the rhythm? I doubt it.

As good as a family’s docs? I’d bet better.

Which Apple Watch should I get my parents so they get this benefit. Do all of them have the ability?

Life alert doesn’t have fall detection, and is almost always false activations.

Guess how many false activations it takes to get blacklisted from a 911 response. I’ve seen it be as few as 3.

And one way or the other, EMS is getting in. Deaf person doesn’t hear the doorbell, Knocking at 2 am? Unless they let their house unlocked, shit is getting broke to get in.

As a paramedic:

By your old family members an Apple Watch.

99% of medical alarms are false trips. Not only do they piss us off, generate paperwork, and sometimes a bill, we respond like they are the low priority calls they are.

Medical alarm companies almost never give us the information they have on file, or make an effort to determine if it is an accidental activation.

And one way or the other; we’re getting in the residence to make sure it wasn’t a real activation. If that means smashing a door/window, that is going to happen.

Which sucks when it went off because the person went to church and forgot to turn off the “no motion sensor”, or because it got remotely reactivated…and the patient is still in the hospital.

Everyone on Reddit is a bot except for you.

If he prescribes it, will my health insurance cover it?

When I’m in a rush, I wear it in the shower so I’m aware of how much time has past. Otherwise i’ll end up daydreaming whilst the warm water surrounds my naked body, giving me the oh so distant yet familiar feeling of a close embrace.

I also make sure to turn on water mode beforehand so I can eject any water out that might have gotten inside.

Currently testing this out with my son. He is 3 years old and currently uses MnK. I refuse to let him use a controller. If he is going to play video games, he’s going to learn the hard and right way. I’m also limiting the time of app games because as someone mentioned, those aren’t as stimulating as actual PC games.

The watch reported to have an 18 hour "life" in between charges. Would love to be able to use it to track sleep and monitor things during the day, but apparently you can't do both.

A tad expensive for everyone.

Wearing an onion on your belt because its the fashion of the time? Apple Watch.

If that isn’t used in adverts any time soon they are missing out entirely

For kids that play 3 hours a day. This is also correlational statistics, no real tests were performed here

i had a relative whose apple watch warned him three times of abnormal heart rhythm. He called his doctor’s office and was told not to worry and how those things weren’t accurate. An hour later he dropped dead of a heart attack.

This is old news.

When I was younger so much you get than today, I never thought I needed apples help in any way

If I left every sub that gets annoying at times, I'd have nothing to read.

Life Alert has been around for over 30 years...
