With this new app, your Apple Watch might save your life.*
Apple (http://mashable.com/category/apple/) launched the Apple Heart Study app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/apple-heart-study/id1277240928?mt=8) on Thursday, which will collect data on your heart rhythms using the Apple Watch, and send you a notification if you may be experiencing atrial fibrillation (AFib).*

To track your heart, the Apple Watch's sensor uses flashing LED lights and light-sensitive photodiodes to detect the amount of blood pumping through your wrist. Apple is partnering with the Stanford University School of Medicine to conduct the study.*
If your watch discovers an irregular heart rhythm, Apple will provide a free consultation with a study doctor, and an electrocardiogram (ECG) patch to continue monitoring your heart rate. Read more... (http://mashable.com/2017/11/30/apple-heart-study-launched/)
