According to the latest report, an Apple Watch repeatedly reminded a woman that her heart rate was too low, causing her to go to the hospital several times and install a pacemaker. Patti Sohn contacted the local news team KMOV4 in St. Louis to explain the incident surrounding the Apple Watch saving her life. When she was sitting on the sofa at home, she was reminded that her heart rate was abnormally low and was rushed to the hospital.
I know this is not a medical device, but I tell you, I really believe it saved my life by reminding my heart rate,” Patti Sohn said. “I would never go to the hospital.”

She went to the hospital for the first time without diagnosing any problems, but she left with a special monitoring device. Four days later, her Apple Watch again notified her that her heart rate was too low. The result of Patti Sohn’s second visit to the hospital was to install a pacemaker. Sohn believes that the Apple Watch saved her life.
This watch was a gift from her son on Mother’s Day, and she was very thankful that she discovered the problem before things got worse. However, doctors warned that Apple Watch is not a medical device, and those with symptoms should seek medical assistance from a doctor.
