the news from building up next, the technology show shift, look at how a wearable tech is revolutionizing up, how god offers. thank you very much. the get ready for an exciting all the enjoy us. little surprised. hi irish. and i'm ready to dive into the hands of human to do you have you have a window to delete it from port, click on it, please go to the spot on the on expected side to side. no, i was calling about why does that mean? because like now i'm lease, i'm on the new host to join us for an exciting explanation of everything in between.

this is a video and audio production by d w. i hope the video will tune in 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, get in 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. socially val smartwatch went above and beyond.

recently it prevented a possible stroke. he was using it mainly for sports when his noticed irregularities and his heart beat develop new to act. but when he visited the doctor, he was given the all clear device off, i'm caught, 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, was i thought i'd let you know if it's fine. that could have had serious consequences for the 48 year old. because the smart watch was right. a 2nd, b, c, g at on university hospital confirmed what the gadgets had picked up. but instead of missing from, you know, 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 was. and so i had to tell them again and again that i had actually

disable the alarm myself. or is that so i just always come on top of it isn't. it's not allowed. sebastian is the cardiologist at the university hospital, but 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 have very reliable they most common heart within this or they're a risk. mia is called age 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. his heart 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 smiled was cons, replace a doctor, but they can certainly help by gathering valuable data, especially when it comes to cardiovascular diseases, which cause over 18000000 deaths the globally wearables and the i can also help reduce risk. mm hm. mm hm. by motivating us to eat healthy or exercise regularly to so i certainly don't do this all that often. do you and i assistants, can they use our data? they take the a i pin for example, a small many computer. it also has messages sense? do you mind does takes photos based music and more keeping your hop healthy could be so easy. but let's face it. it's not,

is it that maybe a i can help? how much protein? i have a couple of comments has 15 grams of protein. soon they say i will be able to scan food into list as nutrients, useful 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 most and 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. 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, etc. they are available, but the interactions with our surroundings and the devices to record this is limited. devices can one use us when food is overly unhealthy, all contains allergens, added future portfolio. once 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 that is, 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, implant of the shipper latest transmit data to the clinic daily. if the any 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 in weight and the choices. there are recommendations that we get to the patient can be based on a larger data set. but as we have all applications of this kind of data protection is a concern manufacturer. as a sure consumers that nothing is re quoted 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 is nothing to get done with that because it's 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 we still, 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. they essentially detect the heartbeat it's electrically. so they get a direct recording of the heartbeat. do you think about the problem with these, of course is that you can't wear it all day or all week. you can kind of a both smart watches. on the other hand, i'm much more comfortable. the happy it is detected by the optical sensor, which them, it's a live signal to measure the pulse weight. but it's not quite as accurate 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, touch shoes, or perhaps scar tissue based on the, the, the desktop is smart watches 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 high speed in the year. probably 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 they work though 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. but it doesn't let us. but 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 detail 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 hops is considered extremely risky. boston's children's hospital is b, a 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 a human ha. they're creating virtual twins of the children. some are, is early as newborn and performing the surgeries on the virtual twin 1st. the siding 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 the vine, started researching for the living hoc project around 10 years ago. for very personal reasons, is dawn and jessie suffered from a real hot 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 the, they can actually insert the pace maker. they can replicate her condition or thousands like her. let's try 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 the 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 i, a 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 as well for me by and see you next time. the specialties. smooth, unusual sized with luxury and
