Apple Watch Could Detect Early Signs of Diabetes

A new study from Cardiogram suggests that Apple Watch could detect early signs of diabetes. Based on heart rate data. Apple Watch could tell the difference between diabetic and non-diabetic users 85 percent of the time. 14.011 people participated with either an Apple Watch or an Android Wear device. Considering the amount of people wearing an Apple Watch today, it boggles my mind how many health innovations we could get from this little device. Prevention is key with many diseases, and I have always believed that the future of health is digital. Yearly checkups with holistic reports don't do much for patients, so having this hard data can let your watch become your doctor, delivering important notifications on the spot.
