Apple Watch ECG detected cardiac arrhythmia

Apple, I would like to thank you for saving my grandmother's life. My grandmother is 80 years old. Two years ago, she was barely able to do anything. I decided to check her with my new  Apple Watch ECG, and we discovered cardiac arrhythmia. My grandmother was hospitalized and given medication to restore her regular heart rhythm.


On Saturday, my grandmother complained that she was feeling unwell... we measured her blood pressure... it was normal. I then put my Apple Watch on her and measured her ECG. We found that she had arrhythmia again.


We immediately called the ZSKE emergency service, which measured a 12-lead ECG on the spot, confirming the values measured by the Apple Watch.


A few hours later, my grandmother was home, completely fine and happy.


I wish people would trust these little computers on their wrists that can save lives.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 26
