Apple Watch might save your life?

According to a tech blog TechCrunch reported on February 7, a new clinical research report released by health technology startup Cardiogram said Apple's Apple Watch can detect diabetes symptoms previously diagnosed with diabetes, with an accuracy rate of 85%.

The study is part of a project entitled "DeepHeart" jointly conducted by Cardiogram and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The survey tracked 14,000 Apple Watch users wearing Apple Watch and detected 462 respondents with diabetes through the Apple Watch heart rate sensor with an 85% accuracy rate.

In 2015, the Framingham Heart Study, a health organization, released a report that resting heart rate and heart rate variability predict diabetes and hypertension, a finding that has driven the industry to develop smart meters that accurately detect diabetes symptoms using a smart bracelet heart rate sensor.

Earlier, Cardiogram's founder, Brandon Ballinger and his colleagues used Apple Watch to detect a variety of heart-related diseases in combination with their own artificial intelligence techniques, with an accurate heart rate anomaly detection rate of up to 97%, sleep apnea accuracy rate of 90%, high blood pressure test accuracy of up to 82%. Most of these studies have been published in clinical journals or abstracts, and Ballinger intends to publish this latest research at AAAI 2018 this week.

According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 100 million adults in the United States currently have diabetes, and more than a quarter of them are undiagnosed, in part because of the pain associated with blood sugar testing: People with diabetes usually tingle themselves with diabetes tests after each meal to take the right amount of insulin to maintain the body's blood-sugar balance.

Ballinger said in the future his research team may be through the heart sensor to detect some diseases, and may even include gestational diabetes. Bollinger also warned that those who are already diagnosed with early symptoms of diabetes should go to the hospital in a timely, rather than rely solely on Apple Watch to guide the next health treatment program.
