It's something that many people wear to check texts and take calls, but for Ken Counihan, his Apple Watch became much more than that—it became a life-saver.
Counihan wears his Apple Watch for many reasons, such as taking calls, tracking his workouts and playing music.
"I got an alert back in October that my breathing was elevated. So basically you have a certain number of breaths per minute, basically said I went from 14 to 17 or 18," Counihan said."My wife had me make a phone call to my son and he suggested I go to the outpatient care, get it looked at, which is what I did. And they just did an X-ray. And they gave me some meds for bronchitis at the time.
Another trip for observation, but with the numbers he provided and the background his Apple Watch was able to relay to him, doctors ordered more scans, this time finding something much more severe than bronchitis.Dr. Lucy Franjic, an emergency medical physician at Cleveland Clinic, said blood clots are a truly serious condition that could have cost Counihan his life.
Devices like Counihan's Apple Watch are no strangers to helping people find medical ailments. Franjic herself said many patients come in with information they've obtained via their smart watches and devices.
