The Apple Watch could detect the Coronavirus
If you have a Apple Watch pay attention because these Apple devices could predict, before having symptoms, that you are going to pass COVID-19. This would be a super effective tool to eradicate the pandemic from the world.
Mount Sinai Hospital and Stanford University have conducted studies that corroborate the usefulness of the Apple watch in detecting the coronavirus. This device would be very effective, for example, to detect asymptomatic people.
How can the Apple Watch detect Coronivarus?:
First of all we pass you the complete study of the Mount Sinai Hospital. By clicking on that link you can access it and read it in its entirety.
Rob Hirten, a professor of medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, says that the variation in time between each heartbeat is an indicator of the progress of a person's immune system. A high variability in the heartbeat indicates that the patient has a he althy immune system and that the nervous system is "active, adaptable and more resistant to stress." Coronavirus patients experience a lower rate of beat variability (little variation of time between beats) .
Hirten comments that until now we depend on patients feeling unwell to go to the doctor and perform the relevant tests to diagnose them. With the Apple Watch you can diagnose those who are asymptomatic and people who may have the virus before they start to show symptoms.These would go a long way to end this nightmare.
ECG on Apple Watch
In the study conducted at Stanford University, 32 people who tested positive for COVID-19 were tested out of a total of 5,000 tested. They found that 81% of the positives had experienced a change in resting heart rate. In this case, the frequency had gone up tremendously. This was detected up to nine and a half days before the onset of symptoms. You can consult the study here .
App to detect the coronavirus:
Since Apple has already worked with Stanford University and seeing the results of this study, it may be that, although at the moment there is no mention of a possible application that could allowing the user to monitor their own symptoms, Apple may launch something on this front soon.
I HOPE!!!
