I wear my watch during showers. It's an amazfit tho, with no fall detection. But it can tell me what was my heart rate and how many calories i burned while trying to crawl to the bedroom for my phone to call an ambulance with a broken hip... Which is nice i guess.

How old was he? Did he have other risk factors?

I get an abnormal rhythm on occasion. Sometimes just a few seconds off and on for a few minutes or an hour and then not again for weeks or a few years.

After 18 years of not really knowing what was happening I caught an abnormal rhythm alert while taking my blood pressure last month.

I told my doctor and he set me up with a portable heart monitor I'm currently wearing for a few weeks. It happens so infrequently I was worried it wouldn't happen while I had the monitor but I logged several events yesterday. Hoping it's just stress/anxiety and not more serious.

I had a baby in April, got my Apple Watch on my birthday in January. It determined that for two weeks after I had my baby, my average resting heart rate changed, and notified me. I was amazed because the rate of change began on my baby’s birthdate.

It’s also notified me that I’ve had a higher heart rate and asked if I was okay on two separate occasions. Once after getting my tetanus vaccine, when I was running a fever, and the other time was when I had Covid. It was my first symptom and I didn’t even know it until my watch notified me. Pretty cool technology, in my opinion!

Like radiology, things like ECG interpretations will really benefit from machine learning on massive datasets. In both areas, we're not far away from an AI interpretation exceeding the abilities of a technician. Proof of concept has already shown neural networks outperforming resident doctors on 12-lead ECG interpretation.
