My Apple Watch detected AFib with out me feeling it. I later developed a heart flutter. I had an ablation. I exercise everyday and use the activity app. This 65 y/o guy finds my Apple Watch a helpful tool in staying healthy.

@rstr0up Год назад

Yea my 75yo mom had her watch identify afib and she had to also have an ablation. She’s now on the correct meds and the afib notifications stopped/slowed. In these instances, I’m gonna say the Apple Watch allowed more time and years with my mom.

@philhunt1442 Год назад

You never hear about all the disasters we avert because they are averted. 100+ million devices will have at least a couple issues, but when compared to benefits, they are statistically outweighed. Is someone else mistakenly paying 1000's of dollars in unnecessary diagnosis worth saving your life?

@craigstoner2632 Год назад

Do you mean, 'this 65y/o guy finds HIS...."?

@JonasBuechnerArt Год назад

My mom had serious heart problems and the doctor didn’t believe her, because it never occurred during the visit to the doctor. I caught her an Apple Watch, so she could prove, that her heart was doing weird stuff with the ecg. It worked. She got treated and is fine now. She needed the watch, because her heart happened not to act up when she had a medical monitor for like two weeks. The watch she could wear all the time and record when she was feeling weird. So yea: not necessary for everyone, but helpful for some.

@idontgetnotifiedaboutrepli2332 Год назад

Watches like these give you visual insights into your daily routine performances. I’m glad my watch allows to track my bpm, stand hours and all the other stuff so *I* don’t have to.

@idontgetnotifiedaboutrepli2332 Год назад

Just got a S7 from eBay that I was thinking about returning. But the sleep insight it gives me made me change my mind about how I sleep and how I have to sleep. Easy access to my BPM on some watchfaces or in the app allow me to understand that I do have trouble with cardio fitness, something the watch tracks in the health app as well. He’s right that the watch doesn’t really tell you much you shouldn’t already know, but it makes you know them. Opening the health app a week after I got the watch I was stunned at how terrible my fitness is in some regards. I’m keeping it.

@knowledgeisgood9645 Год назад

A doctor who wants to box giving us advice!🤣

@PromotingTheBeat Год назад

4:04 This is why hypochondriacs should not have the Apple Watch or any kind of health watch. Even if you are borderline, it makes you check every little thing that you never cared to check before and it can mess with you.

@Stupranos Год назад

I never saw the Apple Watch as a health dependent device. More so a health awareness and peace of mind. Think of it like a friend who starts to notice something out of place you don’t notice and recommends to seek medical attention.

@sherlockwho5714 Год назад

Agreed. I'm not making medical decisions based on them but they do help inform my questions.

@NBTJacklyn Год назад

Such a cool interview love it!

@unalive_me Год назад

I think that fitness watches are a great tool for establishing a baseline for your health. You can definitely point at specific times and say, that is not normal for me, I should go see a doctor.

@mayonakasymphony2286 Год назад

For me my Fitbit was the only thing that finally got me to lose 20 lbs and be healthy. I track my calories and steps to keep me on track

@ToLoveIsToLive89 Год назад

I am so thankful for my Apple Watch! I have MS, Dysautonomia,chronic migraine,PCOS and now multiple blood clots in my lungs. My watch not only helps me catch new or worsening problems but it’s also a comfort to be able to check my numbers but I know if I collapse when I’m alone it will call for help, and when EMTs or stranger try to help me they can access all of my health information so I can be treated properly.

@miriams.4341 Год назад

I honestly just love the gamification of exercise, because I genuinely hate exercise, but I will get competitive with those rings and getting my pretty firework at the end of the day. That’s it. The mindfulness and medication reminders are also pretty useful, but nothing I couldn’t improvise on if needed. My main reason for owning the thing is that it does get me to the gym, make the gym more interesting, by providing pretty metrics, and last but not least, gives me a button to brag to my friends with, who will then tell me I’m awesome (or worse - ask me, where my posts are/have been!). It works for me and I’m willing to pay a lot for those health benefits brought on by regular exercise.

@vatazes Год назад

I use a simple watch that monitors my steps, helps me watch my sleep, and the that records that info also has it where I can log my BP and BS. So each doctor visit, we can go over the info, including my bloodwork and make any treatment adjustments. I have a few ailments, and early on, tech became a valuable tool. When the Pandemic hit, our phones being able to monitor oxygen was amazing, as we were isolated at home, and our doctor would check in remotely and would have us do the temp and oxygen. I still see a lot of room for improvement, and agree with Dr. Mike on a lot of stuff, but I have found some uses for my watch that have been beneficial.

@yumeka_is_dreaming Год назад

The future of biohacking: Me: "Hey, today's date went pretty well..." A watch: Your bpm was below 70 and you ate unhealthily. It's not love, it's carbs.

@yumeka_is_dreaming Год назад

Fact check: carbs ARE love.

@MrManafon Год назад

I worked at a company, Vital Beats, that has managed to solve the “3 seconds of AF” problem and is in multiple large hospitals, being used by cardiologists. It is CE approved, and we even got to a point where Hospitals issue their own apple watches to monitor patients!

@karlsma7245 Год назад

I use a cheap $50 fitness tracker. It does all the things I want. Tracks steps, sleeping, and shows me my messages. Plus it has a 5 day battery.

@anthonyscott5134 Год назад

That’s great that for your specific situation that is all you need or desire. Some of us can look beyond our own use case though. As for the 5 day battery. I always laugh at people who throw that out. Let’s see, does your tracker serve as a watch, a calendar, a phone, email, messages…? I bet not. Do you think all that functionality shouldn’t drain a battery? These are two entirely different levels of usability.

@iatia88 Год назад

Oh yeah, I need to go _____, let me just finish ____. *smh 😅 That’s meeeeee!

@ShervinShares Год назад

I love playing with health/wellness gadgets & sadly you’re right. Mostly overrated, but can be helpful for specific fitness optimizations - that most people don’t need

@Dornavver Год назад

I don't see the value in fitness optimizations. I see the value as a tracking device. A lot of people, especially tech guys like engineers for example really love tracking their training progress. Seeing the numbers getting better provides some extra motivation.

@ericfielding2540 Год назад

Interesting perspective but nobody knows everything, including doctors who think they do. There are probably a lot of people who expect their smart device to do everything for them. I agree that the devices are more motivation to start an exercise program than to maintain it, so people get disillusioned.

@MarkEvans5 Год назад

Some of this doctors comments seem overly generalized - ignoring the tentative approach Apple takes with health. That, along with the enormous effort and expense Apples has gone to when partnering with reputable medical institutions to validate the data collected by the Apple Watch. It would have been nice to hear this doctor acknowledge the difference between fitness tracking and FDA Approved sensors for health monitoring. He seemed to dismiss the FDA Approved Apple Watch sensors as being “for fun” or a gimmick. Despite your attempts to highlight features that have indeed saved lives and encouraged healthy behaviors, I’m afraid it fell on deaf ears. At least you tried. Thanks for another great video, Rene!

@StephSellsStuffbytheSeashore Год назад

Saw you in Nimmin's chat, so thought I'd pop by and say hi! Great channel! Come over sometime! 🙂

@GRSEMETROMALL Год назад

I brought the ultra watch for twice the battery life that’s pretty much it

@idontgetnotifiedaboutrepli2332 Год назад

It’s a fitness tracker, not maximiser.

@FunAtDisney Год назад

Although not part of the subject, why does it cost “10s of thousands of dollars” for an A-Fib test? No wonder med cost are so ridiculously high!

@logtothebase2 Год назад

Would be worth talking to someone expert in medical device registration, I expect that this sort of device are skating on the edge of what is highly regulated industry worldwide, the FDA is the tip of the iceberg.

@henningbeier8996 Год назад

I managed to take an ECG while fainting and my applewatch showed a bout of ventricular fluttering. I got an ICD

@superzero4250 Год назад

(3:49) I made sure both my parents had an AppleWatch, as far back as the Series 4… 🤔

@ToniAdventures Год назад

I watch on a treadmill!!!

@brittanyjordan3011 Год назад

Doctor Mike better calm down with all those hand gestures. Any more flailing and you're going to irrate that elbow again 🤣🤣🤣

@meghandelvicario7981 Год назад

I’m curious how the pavlok device that gives you a mild shock and could help with such alarm fatigue, personally I find it’s amazing for anyone who has sleep issues and sleeps super heavy and really needs to wake up like for finals or anything. I’m curious what your take is on the device dr mike for something for waking up and stuff like that and the potential it has for the future if it adapts, and any issues it could help improve.

@elizabethmathews4450 Год назад

I have POTS, so the heart monitor is important for me so I can track my HR. ❤

@CrosFyre Год назад

There are several useful & important ways to use watches & other smart fitness technology for sport & fitness. The most obvious is simply measuring HR for training intensity & recovery intervals. A higher level use is heart rate variability (HRV) which measures the R-R variability between heart beats to advise on athlete's readiness to train hard - or not! Omegawave is the most public & experienced seller of this technology. HRV advice is often counter intuitive which I believe only adds to its usefulness. However it's all up to the knowledge & motivation of each user. To get the best out of anything you have to commit and do some research & testing. FWIW - I'm an engineer, sport scientist and elite / high performance coach - so perhaps not your typical end user. Gadgets are essential in my area to optimise training, recovery & measuring performance. Higher end watches like Garmin, Polar & Suunto allow more insight into training & performance for athletes.

@bryncb Год назад

And here I just love Apple Pay on my Apple Watch.

@schadlarry Год назад

I knew the EKG function of the apple watch would be a cash cow for the healthcare system. I worked in Cardiology and would get referrals from PCP"s from 12 lead EKG's that were interpreted by the machine. We would do a complete workup then costing $$$$$. Get rid of that feature Tim, it's not accurate.

@joyjoyoo Год назад

My huawei band 7 is quite useful too

@jonnyhepcat Год назад

The FHIR API has been an attempt at making the fast exchange of health records a reality in the US. The problem is the US healthcare system is not incentivized to be more effective in this area because the businesses try to do everything they can to keep people in their internal systems to maximize their internal profits. Making the transfer of health records easier also increases the security risk for this data which is what was found in the earliest versions of the FHIR API. Another problem with tying our records and healthcare advances to smart phones and other expensive technology is we inject a wealth gap into patient outcomes. This gets balanced a little as more research and development can lower the cost of cutting edge technology and make it more accessible.

@username9999 Год назад

I like doctor Mike's content, but I prefer something I can listen to whole doing something else. A lot of his videos are very visual. I'm glad he has a podcast now.

@patcostello3882 Год назад

I am sorry but the only over-rated thing is your guest Rene. I am surprised with your choice. Nevertheless, I hope you and your loved ones have a safe and restful time over the next couple of weeks. From sunny Perth Western Australia. 😎😎🌞

@dhhrrruuuuv5465 Год назад

I like @DoctorMite's tshirt

@UnseenSG Год назад

can you do a video about Ai for creators? What are your thoughts on AI for creators? How do you think AI can be useful for creators? How can it not be useful for AI?

@nicoleyoung3927 Год назад

What about the aura?

@user9b2 Год назад

Nope, this video is all over the place, stopped watch 1/3 in . A first 👎 for Rene. 😲

@jeanbutinfrench Год назад

I don’t think it’s his fault

@ImDougDimmadome Год назад

Really? The topic discussed was straight forward and there wasn’t any diversion from it.

@DoctorMike Год назад

Thanks for the invite Rene! Remember folks, when I say “overrated” I’m making a generalization for the majority of cases, but there will be instances where this new tech can save lives. We just have to gather the data to find out when that is and who’s it for, as opposed to universally selling to anyone & everyone. ❤

@ReneRitchie Год назад

Appreciate you so much, Mike! Thanks again, always great to chat!

@betterwithrum Год назад

ok legit, I thought Rene and Georgia were dating or a couple. Mystery solved, they're just friends.

@dctechsvc Год назад

It's exactly why I haven't buy any smart watch yet🤪

@Lady.Fritzx Год назад

It must be really nice to not need to track your HR, O2, blood pressure, etc. It is a really helpful device for us who need these daily.

@spacenerd1701 Год назад

I would love to be active with Doctor Mike...just sayin...

@anthonyscott5134 Год назад

I’m usually with Rene, but here, with this guy, not so much.

@aliceli8816 Год назад

So a Medical-Doctor / Social-Media Influencer sees that AI/ML Technology is advancing, Health Care is being slowly democratized and is likely going to be better at diagnosing health problems in near future.. and he starts fear-mongering.. Instead of realizing that doctors WILL have to adopt, and only those who will learn to work with AI/ML advancements, will continue to thrive in their profession. Not the ones who are opposing the change. It's sad to see one of my favorites.. in fact, The Favorite RU-vid channel is giving platform to people like this. @Rene Ritchie , what happened?

@DougForne Год назад

Tell the people that it’s helped it’s overrated.

@evlnte Год назад

This doctor got caught ignoring his own covid quarantine advice. Live what you preach! Most of his advice is ok, but he just seems like a ego maniac.

@jogibajr Год назад

My #1 feature on my Apple Watch is being able to answer my phone calls while riding my bike. I wish Apple comes out with a lower cost Apple Watch Series 9 Max GPS with 49mm case like the ULTRA next year.
