Recently, another incident came to light where an Apple Watch saved a woman’s life. According to reports, a 70-year-old British woman faced difficulty breathing on a Ryanair flight from the UK to Italy on January 9. This led the flight crew to seek assistance from medical professionals on board in an emergency situation.
A 43-year-old doctor on the flight asked the flight crew if they had an Apple Watch to monitor the woman’s health. Fortunately, a flight attendant had an Apple Watch. Dr. Riyaz then used the watch’s monitoring system to measure the woman’s oxygen levels. When the oxygen level was found to be low, arrangements were made for oxygen for the woman. This way, her life was saved.
