Apple Watch helps detect rare cancer in 12-year-old girl #IndiaNEWS #News
San Francisco: An Apple Watch has reportedly been credited with spotting a 12-year-old girls rare cancer before she was even aware of it, with the help of its heart rate notifications feature.
As reported by Hour Detroit, Imani Miles and her mother Jessica Kitchen now view the Apple Watch as more than just a gadget.
Imanis mother, Jessica, noticed that her daughters Apple Watch started beeping constantly, alerting Imani to an abnormally high heart rate. Thats really weird because its never happened before. It just kept going off, said the mother.
The concerned mother took her daughter to the hospital, where doctors noticed a tumour in her appendix. It was then that they learned of a neuroendocrine tumour on her appendix, which according to doctors, is rarely seen in children, the report added.
When doctors found Imanis tumour, it had already spread to other parts of her body, requiring her to undergo surgery to remove it.
If the watch didnt go off, I probably would have just waited and taken her in the next couple of days, Kitchen was quoted as saying.
If she didnt have that watch, it could have been so much worse, she added.
Imani had surgery at CS Mott Childrens Hospital in the US to remove the remaining tumour, according to the report.
Earlier this month, Apple Watch detected a 34-year-old womans pregnancy. The woman on Reddit posted that the watch indicated that her average resting heart rate had significantly increased in just a few days, which made her suspect that something was off.
In July, a womans heart was detected with a rare tumour after she received multiple alerts that her heart was in atrial fibrillation.
