Yolie De Leon from Arizona was heading out for her walk when she received an alert on the Apple Watch. The alert stated that her heart rate was 174 with an AFib condition and that she needed to call the doctor immediately.

When De Leon reached the hospital, the doctors confirmed that the diagnoses provided that the Apple Watch was indeed AFib. While the model of the Apple Watch is not mentioned in the report, we are glad that De Leon was timely notified of the condition. The Apple Watch features an AFib detector since 2018 that collects and analyzes data regularly using a heart rate monitor. This allows the wearable to collect ample data for a prolonged period of time to give an overview of the wear's health. When an irregular condition is detected, the Apple Watch will notify the user which could save his life from a certain condition.
