A mum claims her Apple Watch saved her life when it alerted her to a unknown heart condition. Elaine Thompson, 59, went to see a doctor when the device told her she had an irregular rhythm.
This led to her being given a heart monitor for a week - which flagged up she flatlined for 19 seconds in her sleep. Elaine was then rushed to hospital - where she was diagnosed with a heart block.
She now has a pacemaker and credits her Apple Watch with first alerting her that something was up. Elaine said: "It saved my life. If I hadn’t had the alert I wouldn’t have brought it up with the doctor. Now I wear the Apple Watch all the time.
