According to the report, Apple Watch is capable of
detecting abnormal heart rate with a 97 % accuracy, which is indeed pretty impressive.
The company is partnering up with a group of clinicians at Stanford, as well as telemedicine vendor American Well, to test whether Apple Watch's
heart rate sensor can
detect abnormal heart rhythms in a cohort of patients, according to two people familiar.
The
heart rate monitors built into the Apple Watch and other wearable devices can
detect abnormal heart rhythms with 97 percent accuracy, according to a new study conducted by the team behind the Cardiogram app for Apple Watch in conjunction with researchers at the University of California, San Francisco.More than 139 million
heart rate and step count measurements were collected from 9,750 users of the Cardiogram app who also enrolled in the UC San Francisco Health eHeart Study, with the data used to train DeepHeart, Cardiogram's deep neural network.Once trained, DeepHeart was able to read
heart rate data collected by wearables, distinguishing between normal
heart rhythm and atrial fibrillation with a 97 percent accuracy
rate, both when testing UCSF patients with known
