and you can find much more on our website at www dot com. unlike look, good, thanks for watching. and the words people have to say that's why we listen. we close every weekend on d, w, ice, cold b, c. at the end of the plastic, underneath an expedition ventures on 2 places that no one has good explosion. why is the ice melting more rapidly in the ice fields

and past the staying fit and healthy is as important today as it's ever been. today we're all about smart watches and fitness track us and living a healthy life with wearables. if you need that little exit motivational push, getting gear for shift. often times the slicker and more comfortable alternative to click on hop the right track of is the smart watch for many they our lives type product, but in the medical world they have the potential to be a lot more than just that. how well do they work? and do medical experts take them seriously? we got the chance to meet someone with 1st hand experience. so i send you out who smiled was might have just saved his life. suddenly val, smart watch,

went above and beyond, recently prevented a possible stroke. he was using it mainly for sports when his notice the regularities in his heart beat, develop new to act. but when he visited the doctor, he was given the all clear and device huffman code, you know, and then i went to the cardiologist who performed a long term, easy to use, but didn't find anything else. and i thought it was an error. so i switched off the alarm because it was kind of annoying, was, i don't know if, if i could have had serious consequences for the 48 year old because the smart watch was right. a 2nd, b, c, g, and phone university hospital confirmed what the gadgets had picked up by the missing come used on the standard e. c. g. then reveal that i have something called atrial fibrillation. what did i know? i was asked several times in the cardiology department why my watch hadn't sounded the alarm. and so i had to tell them again and again,

i had actually disable the alarm myself. that is that. so i just always come on top of it, isn't this not? i'm sebastian is the cardiologist at the university hospital, but he has a good experiences with smart boss, health apps. he's convinced the potential is huge, especially for prevention. the data that the smart watches collect the easy reading . they are very reliable. they most common heart rhythm. this or they're a written media, is called h of relation and it's the leading cause of stroke worldwide. and this can be detected by smart watches. and then if we know that the patient has a, we can initiate treatment to prevent stroke. socially valid has been in treatment ever since, and now we're so smart watch regularly, which was a pretty good idea, is how it started playing off again. and the app was the 1st to notice to

this one after that some further good signal reliably. every time you're having a truck regulation again right now, so this maybe you should contact your doctors. apps then smartwatch, those kinds replace a doctor, but they can certainly help by gathering valuable data, especially when it comes to cardiovascular diseases, which costs over 18000000 deaths. the globally, wearables and the i can also help reduce risk by motivating us to eat healthy or exercise regularly to so i, so at least don't do this all that often. do you, i assistance going to use our day to day take b. i pin, for example, a smart menu computer. it also has messages since you mind those takes photos, plays music, and more. keeping your heart healthy could be so easy. but let's face it. it's not, is it that maybe

a i can help. how much protein a half a cup of famines has 15 grams of protein. soon they say i will be able to scan food and the list is nutrients use for me for those looking to live a healthy life. getting information on what you eat is incredibly important because most people aren't aware of what they eat on a regular basis day. they had breakfast 2 hours ago and perhaps didn't realize how many calories are in that most in or in the pancakes that they consume. and then if they get an update on a regular basis throughout the day, i'm sure that this will make them more aware of their lifestyle choice. um, many ways to find out what constitutes a healthy diet. i'm gonna eat it, enjoy it. but does talking to, i really make a difference. in 41 is hands for, you know,

smartphone required. the main restriction for our patients today is that the smartphones are they are available, but the interactions with our surroundings and the devices to record this is limited. hey, i revise this kind of one uses when food is overly unhealthy, all contains allergens, added future, difficult follow what you're consuming and keep track of nutrients. you have had 22 grams of protein today. but how effective it will be is deluxe the best phone universities, hospital cardiac center. patients with calcified hobbs wells admitted every day. it's not only a consequence of agents and medics but also of the pool nutrition or little exercise without treatment. the consequences of the illness can be fatal. ai is becoming increasingly important for prevention. for example, implanted the shipper latest transmit data to the clinic daily. if the, any of the amenities, the i sounds, the alarm a, i support

a data on nutrition and health helps to me. interaction between a patient and a physician will become more intimate because we get more data available and waiting. the choices. there are recommendations that we get to the patient can be based on a larger data sets. but as with all the applications of this kind of data protection is a concern manufacturer. as a sure consumers that nothing is recorded unintentionally. and that data isn't sold to 3rd parties, but the fact that data is often stored in the cloud is very because it could fall into the wrong hands. so if you're looking to use a assistance, make sure to consider the data you're putting out there. it's not going to get done and we've got to thinking about data security like you have to way of how much it really benefits you know at all. i'm going to, it's one of the reasons i switched it off back then. if it doesn't help me, i'll leave it alone. and so less than, let's assume you're wearing a smart watch. how does it actually measure your heart rate?

there are 2 different methods. optical pods, measurement with lights, and a hot rate sensor that requests electrical activity more than that. now. it's only gonna have to happen when it comes to accurate hard rate monitoring. we always recommend the classic test drops. it's an electrons busy a logical recording. they essentially detect the heart beats electrically, so they get a direct recording of the heartbeat. but the problem with these, of course, is that you can't wear it all day or all week. you can try me both smart watches. on the other hand, i'm much more comfortable. the heartbeat is detected by the optical sensor, which i'm, it's a live signal to measure the pulse way, but it's not quite as accurate enough. so be it from the light is been absorbed by hemoglobin. a component of the blood from which we can derive the heart rate. but as it's a light source, everything that can interfere with light. it has an influence on the data quality.

things like skin color, body hair, type shoes, or perhaps scar tissue. based on i'll give you the rest of it's small torches don't work as well for people of color. that's why a team at google is experimenting with ultra sound, which would pick up the hot in the year by a headphones, irrespective of skin color. but reflections for strong movement besides heart rate, conventional variables often recall top acceleration of the values like calorie consumption for blood oxygen levels are calculated using algorithms. exactly how that works. so is a trade secret about it, but in the end, the user only gets the results the fuse. but because you can't tell if it's actually high quality measurements or how much has been calculated for that. and for the t. v dot one is because we know that these devices can do wonders for motivation, for example,

been swimming garbo. this reminds me of my training program, but the wearables can also provide detailed patient data for doctors with a clear ads when it comes to convenience and prize. a milestone for her patients, and the best case scenario. wearables can detect illnesses at an early stage in future. this obtained health data could be used to model digital twins of patients, organs, virtual models of a patient's lungs, or hot, for example, buds to deliver realistic values. they must 1st be fed with patient data. at children's hospital in boston is that the forefront the digital twins of a human heart. thanks to this technology, the effects of different treatments can be tested without having to operate. surgery on children's hearts is considered extremely risky. boston's children's hospital is b, a heading of the use of data the twins to develop treatment plans specifically tailored to each time

the at the forefront is dr. steve divine. to develop the 1st digital twin of the human heart the creating virtual twins of the children. some are as early as newborn and performing the surgeries on the virtual twin 1st, deciding upfront what is best and then trying it out on the child. and in many cases, they only have one shot to save the child's life. and the results have been spectacular . ready ready ready ready dr. steve levi and started researching for the living hoc project around 10 years ago. for very personal reasons. it's donna jesse suffered from a real hobby defect and had to undergo several operations as a child. not all of which, but equally successful. she is now benefited from the research because now

pacemakers, optimal settings can be tested in advance. and in virtual reality the, they can actually insert the pace maker. they can replicate her condition or thousands like her. i tried different pacing sequences on thousands of different versions of, of the heart to figure out which sequence would work out best and then try it out and confirm on her rather than experiments directly on her. findings can then immediately be transferred to other hot patients. virtual therapy test for the individual organs of just the beginning. though in future, everyone will have a digital twin at the side with a personalized health plan. and i think what will happen is you will get a virtual twin, which is a generic version of

a human when you're born, it'll be quickly adapted to what we know about you at that point. and then as you get older and you get more diagnostics, more tests, it gets tuned. it might be some time before we all have a digital twin of ourselves. but until then, wearables and the ion systems can help us stay fit and healthy for longer provided, of course that we actually take the advise and work out every now and then that's all for me by and see you next time the are you ready to talk about sex test and we need to get the same old are

a ton of things that you can do to ease the sexual attention. everyone works for their own whole guys, right? because the young people seem to be educated on the subject of the 77 percent of the the next on d w on the see the new year. happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to use force and for the future in the stories industries that are being discussed across the country. news africa. in 60 minutes on d. w. well then progress pop calls to everyone who wants to know more about this topic. that concerned about this story is
