Apple Watch 4 — Offering Seniors Vital Health Sensor Options

Lee Tuchfarber is a business leader who directs Renew Senior Communities, LLC, and aims to provide a healthy, active, and family-friendly environment for senior residents at senior living facilities, including those in Glenwood Springs and Aurora, Colorado. With a strong interest in technology, Lee Tuchfarber is a proponent of wearable sensors as a way of connecting people with real-time health monitoring and medical services.

One of the most popular devices that offer real-time health tracking is the Apple Watch 4. The Apple Watch 4 features fall detection, which senses when a fall takes place and generates an alert that allows the wearer to place an emergency call. If the watch senses immobility following the fall exceeding 60 seconds, a call is automatically placed to the emergency contact stored on the phone.

Another Apple Watch 4 feature is a real-time screening for atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm irregularities. Alerts are sent out when any issue is detected and it is also possible to generate an electrocardiogram (ECG) within 30 seconds. The ECG information can be seamlessly shared through the watch with one’s physician.
