When Aideen Ahern was gifted an Apple Watch as an early birthday gift from her son Conor, little did she know that just a few weeks later the piece of tech would be instrumental in helping to save her life.
The 68-year-old collapsed at her home in Ballycastle on September 20, 2021 suffering from a ruptured Aneurysm, and thanks to her Apple Watch which alerted emergency services, police were able to break in and come to her aid alerting paramedics.
Almost a year after that night, Aideen is now back at home and living her life as normal after undergoing life-saving surgery and intense rehab, and is eternally grateful for both the watch and the team of medical staff who helped save her life.
