  • Apple Heart Study winds down ahead of January completion date

    I had seven alerts from my Apple Watch and I was diagnosed with episodes of extreme tachycardia. So it does help, my cardiologist said the history graphs I could show them of my daily heart beat gave them a very clear picture of what my heart is doing and when. I then had to wear a portable ecg machine for 48 hours. This confirmed what they had seen from the watch data. I have used a Polar and Microsoft watch before, and even though they showed my heartrate, they never allerted me of any posable problems. I am also taking part in the Cardiogram program.

  • Apple Heart Study data reportedly used to win FDA approval for Apple Watch ECG

    I have severe Dilated Cardiomyopathy and is on the heart transplant list. The ability to take even a simple 2 lead ECG would be of great help to my cardiologist. The fact that you can send them a PDF that they can interpret themselves is of great help. The watch itself might not be able to make a diagnosis from the results but a doctor can make a more informed decision. The fall detection would have helped me a lot in the past. I have fainted a number of times with extreme low blood pressure 66/42. I live alone and was lying on the floor for 40 odd minutes at one time before I came to and could phone for help. This have some real practical implications that cant be denied. It does not intent to replace your healthcare practitioner but acts as an aid and an early warning/alert system.

  • Apple TV+ boasts highest bitrate of any 4K streaming service, report says

    In its testing, FlatpanelsHD achieved audio bitrates of 386 Mbps, a comparatively low score that owes to the test setup's lack of a connected Dolby Atmos receiver. Bitrates would "most likely" be higher with an Atmos system. It's supposed to be 386 Kbps
