I Was Wondering If Buying An Apple Watch For My Mom Is A Good Idea? I've Heard It Can Be Very Useful To Monitor The ECGs And Blood Oxygen.

My mom is currently suffering dealing with heart issues, mainly atrial fibrillation. So I want to buy her an Apple Watch, but wanted to make sure it's a good idea. I read this article (https://www.readmyecg.co/post/a-cardiologists-g... ) from a cardiologist where it says the watch has some really good features, but occasionally could be wrong and increase anxiety. I don't want her to get more anxious, so I'm confused.

The thing I alike Best about the Apple Watch is that it automatically calls an ambulance if I fall and also my husband and daughter!!!😊

I got one for just that reason and I check for AFib whenever my heart is racing…I check it again if it is positive for AFib and usually it will say inconclusive or negative!
