Health Changes Spotted by Apple Watch During Illness
My recent illness revealed measurable changes in my body's wellbeing metrics tracked by my Apple Watch Ultra 2, including a clear uptick in heart rate and resting heart rate, as well as dips in blood oxygen levels and heart rate variability. These changes correlated with the severity of my symptoms and gradually returned to normal as I recovered. The data also showed an increase in walking heart rate average during periods of exertion.
- The Apple Watch's ability to track health metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen, and VO2 Max could have significant implications for monitoring chronic illnesses and detecting early warning signs of complications.
- How will wearable technology, such as smartwatches, be integrated into comprehensive healthcare systems in the future, potentially enabling more proactive preventative measures?
