It's becoming more apparent that Apple Watches do indeed save lives. While travelling by Ryanair from Birmingham to Verona on January 9, a doctor used the nifty gadget to aid an elderly woman who suffered a medical emergency during the flight. If it weren't for his expertise, and the smartness of the watch, the poor woman in her 70s, who was experiencing shortness of breath, could have perished.
Through a conversation in the woman's native Urdu language, he figured out the woman's cardiac history, offering reassurance to her husband when she initially remained unresponsive to his inquiries. Dr Riaz then asked staff for an onboard oxygen cylinder, monitoring and maintaining the woman's saturation levels until they safely landed in Italy about an hour later. "I used a lot of my own learning during this flight on how to use the gadget," Dr Riaz said.
