Apple Watch to the rescue, again! Man credits smart-device for being a lifesaver

Apple Watch has yet again become a lifesaver for a 79-year-old veterinarian from Waco, Texas. The person has credited the Apple Watch for saving his life after the device's heart rate monitor notified him of atrial fibrillation. Reportedly, Dr. Ray Emerson received a notification from his Apple Watch saying that it had noticed an irregular heartbeat.

The notification of irregular heart rhythm and potential atrial fibrillation made him rush to his doctor. After diagnosis and then surgery at St. David's South Austin Medical Center, Emerson has successfully treated the irregular heart rhythm. Reportedly, Emerson once joked that he was 'too cheap' to buy the watch for himself, but now he considers Apple Watch as priceless after being a lifesaver.
