Doctor uses Apple Watch to help passenger on flight
A doctor used an Apple Watch to aid an elderly woman who suffered a medical emergency on a flight. NHS doctor Rashid Riaz, from Hereford, was travelling by Ryanair from Birmingham to Verona for a skiing holiday. "The Apple Watch helped me find out the patient had low oxygen saturation," the medic explained. The Apple website, external said measurements taken with the Blood Oxygen app were not intended for medical use and are only designed for "General fitness and wellness purposes". After obtaining the watch from a staff member, Dr Riaz then asked staff for an on-board oxygen cylinder.
