Why medical doctors are recommending Apple Watches

Many medical doctors are recommending Apple Watches as a medical tool to help diagnose and manage certain conditions, including heart disease monitoring and post-surgery recovery.
Errol Barnett and Sara Moniuszko for CBS News:


“There are a lot of health benefits” in using these devices, said Dr. Rod Passman, cardiologist and professor of medicine at Northwestern Medicine.
“It empowers patients to get involved in their health care. It allows them to understand lifestyle choices may impact their health. And from my perspective, it allows me to monitor my patients long term, remotely, no matter where they are in the world, to understand what’s going on with their heart rhythm, simply by doing an EKG from the watch itself,” Passman told CBS News. “So I think this is a very powerful tool, and many of us are using it, not only to diagnose disease, but perhaps even manage diseases like abnormal rhythm.”
Passman is leading a study funded by the National Institute of Health that aims to understand whether people with abnormal rhythms of the heart can use these devices to personalize care.
“Instead of taking your blood thinner, for example, 12 months out of the year, perhaps the watch can help guide when you need to take the blood thinner so that you can receive the benefits of a medication while minimizing the risks,” he said.
