JAKARTA - Apple Watch continues to be an important product for everyone with its life-saving health monitoring features. The latest story comes from California, through Rich DeMuro of KTLA. It shows how an invisible feature can uncover health problems that are not monitored.

Peter Moore, a resident of Montecito, California, linked his safety to Apple Watch after the device told him about his critical heart condition.

"This little device saved my life," said Moore. Moore, a former technology executive, was on his way to the airport to pick up his daughter when he started feeling unwell. I feel a little dizzy and weak. I think stopping for a while in Starbucks might help, "said Moore.

However, Moore immediately received a notification from his Apple Watch. My cell phone tells about a low heart rate, something I've never seen before. My heart rate dropped to 32, and the watch kept insisting that something was wrong, "explained Moore. Worried, he contacted his wife, who immediately took him to the hospital.

The doctor rushed in and said, 'This is serious. You need a pacemaker right away,' recalls Moore. Dr. Omid Yousefian, a heart electrophysiologist at Sansum Clinic Cardiology, admits the important role Apple Watch plays. His watch plays an important role in saving his life," Yousefian said.

"For us doctors, symptoms are the most important thing. He was warned by his watch and linked the warning with his symptoms, which led him to seek medical immediate help. The quick response was very important," Yousefian said.

Moore had a pacemaker implant within hours to regulate his heart rate. I feel good now, says Moore. Always a tech fan, Moore now has a higher view of his Apple Watch. The value of the wearable device is not only in everyday use but also in real-time health monitoring. In my case, it saved my life,'Moore knot.

High and low heart rate notifications are available on the Apple Watch Series 1 and later for users aged 13 years and over.
