just rescue for huge numbers of displace palestinians up next on shift house smart walters are motivating people to exercise more and look after their health a michael low, who thanks for watching and bye for now. the so either insane. and see you the same way you expect. and one different thing is from life than your parents. i just want to pursue was that's my thought. or you think your kid is 2 different, risky, irresponsible, reasonable stop in port is those nonsense? i was under the dr. joe, in the club, it's time to to vehicle your generation was a sleep us, i'm them. when generation as class this week on dw

is kind of fun. it feels like therapy, 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 are a lifestyle 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'll send you out who smiled was, might have just saved his life. are such certainly val smartwatch went above and

beyond. recently it prevented a possible stroke. he was using it mainly for sports when he noticed irregularities and his heartbeat develop new to act. but when he visited the doctor, he was given the all clear and commercial phone call, you know, and then i went to the cardiologist who performed a long term easy g, 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. um was had to let you know that 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. but instead of missing from, you know, the standard d, c, g, then reveal that i have something called atrial fibrillation. what does 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. or is that so it is always come on top of it is not allowed. sebastian is the cardiologist that they gave me both at the hospitality bump, has a good experience. as with smart boss, health apps, he's convinced the potential is huge, especially for prevention. the data that these smart watches collect the easy reading. they had a very reliable they most common heart rhythm, this or their a recent media is called atrial fibrillation. 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. so good signal reliably, every time you're having a truck regulation again, right now. so this maybe you should contact her doctor's apps then smiled was, can't replace a doctor, but they can certainly help by gathering valuable data, especially when it comes to cobb, you of vascular diseases which cause 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 certainly 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 many computer. it also has messages since you reminders takes photos, plays music, and more shipping. your hot healthy could be so easy. but let's face it. it's not is it that maybe a i can help how much protein?

half a cup of almond 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. they, they had breakfast 2 hours ago and perhaps didn't realize how many calories are in that muffin or in the pancakes that they consume. and then if they get an update on 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 that healthy diet. i'm gonna eat it, enjoy it. but does talking to, i really make a difference. a pin for one is hands for, you know,

smartphone required. the main restriction for our patients today is that the smartphones are they available, but the interactions with our surroundings and the devices to record this is limited devices kind of go on use us 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 through beach is still on the phone universities hospital cardiac center. patients with calcified hospitals admitted every day. it's not only your cons, expensive agents genetics, but also of poor nutrition or little exercise without treatment. the consequences of the illness can be fatal. ai is becoming increasingly important for prevention, for example, implanted to super late as transmit data to the clinic daily. the, any of the amenities, the iphones, 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 we the choices. there are recommendations that we get to the patient can be based on a larger data sets. but as we have all 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 about 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, not good that we've gotten thinking about data security like you have to weigh up how much it really benefits you at all. i'm going to, it's one of the reasons i switched it off back then if it doesn't help me 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 the like 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, as you can kindly both to 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 has an influence on the data quality.

things like skin color, body hair, type shoes, or perhaps scar tissue based on the the, the small torches don't work as well for people of color. that's way a team at google is experimenting with ultra sound, which would pick up the hall in the year. probably a headphones irrespective of skin color, but reflections for strong movement. besides heart rate, conventional variables often rick or thoughts acceleration of the values like calorie consumption for blood oxygen levels are calculated using algorithms. exactly how they were. bill is a trade secret about that, but in the end, the user only gets the results the fuse for because you can't tell if it's actually high quality measurements or how much has been calculated for that disability. it would be if it does, one is but then we know that these devices can do wonders for motivation. for

example, when swimming goes, remind 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. it 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 hobbs is considered extremely risky. boston's children's hospital is spear heading 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 ha, the creating virtual twins of the children. some are as early as newborn and performing the surgeries on the virtual twin 1st, the signing 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 talk to steve the vine, 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 could equally successful. she is now benefited from the

research because now pacemakers optimal settings can be tested in advance. and in virtual reality they can actually insert a 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. the 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 conflicts own with tim sebastian, 4 months into the browser wall and there is no end in sight for the killing on the

suffering. how long can, is there a continuous ministry campaign as his allies would increasingly, but too many policy news? i by my definitely recent bearing salary for my head and intelligence service from my side conflict, the smoke on dw gasper on the spots of the rush upon. it's wanted to say a web, and it's not, i mean, pretend knows how to use this. if someone's turning off the gas cap and the 21st century, you could definitely call in and out toward the russian energy, empire, and european politicians. i've loved the things i knew what they were doing because i don't think you see what my gods, problem, and degrees of the way in 30 minutes on d w. we just got some hot tips for your package. the romantic code is lots affinities. check on some great cultural

memorials to boot dw travel regarding the full month's or the browser will. i'm as know and do site to the killing. i'm the suffering. how long could israel continue? it's minute you can pay as its allies would increasingly, but too many palestinians are by my guest this week here in tel aviv is from holiday former ahead of israel's foreign intelligence service, the most side for now, europe and america are insisting that this war ends with a pathway to palestinian statehood. jerusalem says no. in the midst of this vision. cool and what can stop the blood chit if i'm positive you're welcome.
