Apple and Johnson & Johnson have launched a voluntary randomized nationwide study to explore whether the Apple Watch or an app on your iPhone can reduce your likelihood of a stroke.
Can the Apple Watch and an app on your iPhone reduce the likelihood you’ll have a stroke?
That would be atrial fibrillation, or AFib, an irregular and often rapid heart rate that causes about 130,000 deaths and 750,000 hospitalizations each year in the U.S., Johnson & Johnson said. The Apple Watch Series 5, which costs $399 or more, as well as the Series 4 have an irregular heart rhythm notification feature and an FDA-cleared ECG app, both of which are designed to detect AFib.
