CNN: What Apple Watch Can Teach You About Your Heart
Enter the collaboration between Apple Watch and Stanford Medical Center. First announced in November, 2017. Initial results were presented at the American College of Cardiology Scientific Session in New Orleans in March.
“This is one of the first large-scale studies to use wearables to screen patients for a serious medical condition,” said Dr. Mitesh Patel, who directs the Penn Medicine Nudge Unit, the world’s first behavioral design team embedded within a health system.
“Future studies should test ways to combine these technologies with effective engagement strategies to change patient behavior to treat or reduce their risk from these conditions,” said Patel, who was not involved in the study.
