To be fair, since the Apple Watch introduced heart rate monitoring and other "medical" features, there have been numerous reported cases of it saving a persons life, from detecting heart conditions to detecting falls.
- moooo99 2y agoYeah that is true, but also not sufficient data to indicate that the Apple Watch actually net saves lives. On the other side of the coin of more widespread and continuous monitoring is always the concerns of increasing false positives
- danaris 2y agoWhat do you mean by "net"? Are you suggesting that the Apple Watch actually causes people's deaths, too—in numbers large enough to counterbalance the lives it's saved?
- gandalfgreybeer 2y agoThe tradeoff is always between false positives and false negatives of which the former in this scenario is preferred.
