RUSH: Did you hear about the guy who says — and it\u2019s true, by the way — that his Apple Watch saved his life? The Apple Watch, he sleeps with it because he monitors his sleep. Apple Watch has sleep apps, and you can monitor your sleep, whether you have apnea, how deep REM sleep you\u2019re in and all that.<\/p>\n

But it also has a heart app. And in the latest version of the software, it is much more detailed, the data that is collected on your heart and reflected on the watch. Your resting heart rate, your recovery heart rate, your walking heart rate. But there\u2019s also a feature. This guy was awakened at 3:30 or 4 o\u2019clock in the morning by his watch because his resting heart rate was 120.<\/p>\n
He woke up, he felt like he had indigestion, and he took a couple of Tums. But it still didn\u2019t feel right. So, as a precaution, he went to the emergency room. And he ended up needing four stents surgically implanted. His doctor told him that if he had not awakened, he would not have awakened. He would have had a heart attack in his sleep and would have died.<\/p>\n
Now, I didn\u2019t know the feature was there. I mean, I have a heart app, and I use it to measure the heart rate and all that. So I went into the settings and there is a setting where you can have the watch alarm you, vibrate and wake you up if your heart rate at rest only exceeds whatever you set it to be, 90, 100, 110, 120. You can change that setting.<\/p>\n
And I was explaining this to somebody. “You mean it\u2019s gonna go off when I\u2019m in the gym?” No, no, no. This is the resting heart rate. It measures, it knows the difference when you\u2019re not moving, as opposed to when you\u2019re walking or when you\u2019re exercising. It\u2019s on your resting heart rate. So I looked in there, and mine was set by default at a hundred beats a minute. And I\u2019ve been meaning to tell this story, not because of the watch so much, just because of the — well, it is the watch, but still it\u2019s just an incredible story. And I didn\u2019t even know the feature was there until I read about this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
