Apple and Stanford University study uses new Apple Watch app to detect abnormal heart rhythms.
Apple has teamed up with Stanford Medicine for a new study that uses data garnered from a new Apple Watch app to determine whether a user is experiencing abnormal heart rhythms.

Available for iPhone and Apple Watch users in the U.S. the Apple Heart Study app uses the heart-rate sensor on the underside of the Apple Watch to gather data, and represents a “first-of-its-kind” research project to establish the potential use of wearables such as Apple Watch to detect atrial fibrillation (AFib) — a condition associated with an increased risk of strokes and heart failure.

Needless to say, early diagnosis and treatment of irregular hearth rhythms can help prevent more serious complications from arising. As part of the study, participans — that is, anyone who installs the app and is aged 22 years and over — who have an irregular heart rhythm will receive a notification on their watch and their iPhone, and will be invited to attend a free medical consultation and offered to be fitted with an electrogram (ECG) patch for continued monitoring.
