It sounds dramatic, but you're right. That time is the difference between standing under a chandelier and moving to a doorway.

Just enough time to get somewhere slightly more safe. A 10 second warning is a goddamn miracle if you don't have one.

I usually mow in sandals.

Should I look for a job in oil industry?

Losing a Toe 1 in 1000 times you mow the lawn would be a problem for me given how many times you might mow the lawn in your life

5-10 seconds before it hits… just enough time to worry

Cool. So it is outperforming students. In telehealth network.

In a 3rd world country.

Additionally the article goes on to make several errors. I quote: “the S12L-ECG can provide a full evaluation of the cardiac electrical activity.”

This is not true. 15 lead EKGs are and have been for over decade a standard of care, especially if concern for a right sided MI, utilizing V4r, V5r, v6R. Then you have your 18 or more lead EKGs, that look at the posterior wall MIs.

Additionally, when you did farther. It becomes how simplistic the program is.

the S12L-ECG can provide a full evaluation of the cardiac electrical activity.

It only detects 6 “ abNormalities”: but when we break it down, only one even requires medical treatment based on the EKG, and the only other one that require treatment can be treated based solely on physical assessment.

First degree heart block. Sounds bad, but it just means it takes slightly longer for the electrical activity from the above AV node to travel through and below the AV node. It is an incidental finding. It isn’t treated, monitored,’or concerning.

Sinus tachycardia: drink to much Red Bull today? Go for a jog? Your in sinus tachycardia. It is just a normal sinus rhythm over >100. It isn’t concerning, and it isn’t treated (although the condition that caused it, such as pain; or dehydration, might be).

Sinus bradycardia: again, just a normal sinus rhythm, but slower then 60. It isn’t treated unless a person is symptomatic. IE; lightheaded or dizzy. Having chest pain due to hypotension. But you don’t need an EKG to tell you that. You could just take a pulse. Honesty, a pulse and blood pressure are more important. Treatment could be done entirely without an EKG, although cardiac monitoring would be preferable. You fix it with atropine, or you fix it would electrical stimulation (pacing)

Right and left BBB mean nothing, other then the normal electrical activity /pathway is abnormal. A LBBB makes it much harder to diagnose a STEMI (large heart attack) on the EKG.

There is a way to spot a mI on a patient with a LBBB, but I’ve read about it, studied it and can’t recognition it when I see it. I’m apparently not the only one; as the AHA recommendation is to treat it like. A heart attack unless is it KNOWN the patient has had a LBBB.

I don’t know anyplace that does this.

So….of those rhythms, only A-fib really la concern and gets treated. With blood thinners, and of course rate control.

I’m waiting to see Ray Davies on the commercial

I wear my garmin in the shower all the time. I wash it and my wrist at the same time.

This is way overpriced. Hopefully in the coming years we can see prices like we did in the 90’s

That will improve as more satellites are launched. More are being launched almost every week.

The special super duper version with Superman technology is priced at super prices.

The normal versions are priced just as before.

It's entirely possible to have a watch that monitors your heart rate, and to not check it all the time and get anxious about it. The behaviours don't really come as a package deal.

He would never work on my house again. That's just careless.

ALERT YOU ARE FALL- * splat *

Might be construed as medical advice, opening them up to liability. Never happen.

I've fallen down and I can't get up

No, you are right on the money. All these threads we are seeing is just advertisement. The same way commercials make you think their product will make you successful, attractive, and otherwise enhance your entire life, when in reality, it does absolutely nothing that probably wasn't already being done.

But because this isn't a TV ad and is a Reddit thread, people think it's real testimony and therefore must be true.

It's just new advertising. But that's all it is. I'll be happier and healthier without this device.

I crashed while riding my bike late September and my Apple Watch (series 7 with cellular) texted my emergency contact and was about to call 911, until I stopped it; I didn’t hit my head and was conscious, otherwise, the watch would’ve probably saved my life. I also have a Garmin 530 on the bike and it also has this feature, but I disabled it because once the bike fell after leaning it against a wall and it texted my emergency contact for an hour before I realized it.

Not sure if that’s true but i see your point

Man all those days I spent playing Age of Empires 1 and 2... What a waste of time, they really rotted my brain and I could have done so many more valuable things.

We have the best patients in the world because of Apple Watch

To be fair, if you're an older person at risk of falling and breaking a hip and you know that, you probably will keep it on under the shower.

Can’t believe the new one is $1700 It’s not worth it.
