For example, you can blow into it to get your BAC count before you get into a car. Or you can place a drop of blood or urine into it to get measurement of cholesterol, sugar levels, etc (you would be able to flush it out afterwards so that the watch remains clean).
One useful application is that if you are an old person who falls and can't get up, the Apple Watch could automatically summon medical help for you by summoning an ambulance. Then when you get out of the hospital, the Uber App will be aware of your discharge time and have a car waiting outside to take you home. Perhaps you could program a stop to Dunkin Donuts along the way home by using Siri.
The possibilities are endless. What I'd like is an app that tells me "Hey, you've had too much food. Stop eating." Or say "Eat that and not this." I know I have a wife for that but the SIri voice is much more pleasant. I would rather have my Siri nag me then my wife.
It’s too bad he didn’t buy an Android watch several years ago. He would have discovered this long ago, and with proper medical attention he might have been able to play football safely now.
The last time I went to New Mexico I was at about 8000 foot elevation for 5 days. My heart pounded the entire time I was there. I know now it was a lack of oxygen because I reside at 50 feet elevation. I should have gotten help.
Late to the thread...
I used to wear my heart rate monitor during workouts and used it to gauge my level of effort. Once after a great bike ride, I put it back on 3 hours after the ride was finished, and my heart rate was still nearly 100. After a little panic, I did some web research and found out that it can take a while for your heart rate to come down - a lot longer than I would have guessed. I found the article that talked about extreme athletes - running triathlons and such, but trust me, I am nowhere near that kind of shape. Called a Dr. friend and she just told me to keep an eye on it...The next morning it was almost down to normal.
A few years ago, ‘rhabdomyolysis’ made a bit of news, especially around Iowa City (where I am sitting right now):
