The main error is named when using smart watches

Specialists of the Weekner Medical Center at the University of Ohio (USA) called the main mistake of users of smart watches and other gadgets to control the state of the heart. The study is published on the organization’s website.

In December, scientists conducted a survey among 1008 Americans to find out how they use their smart devices to control the health of the heart. Having studied the materials, the researchers found that almost 75 percent of users monitor the pulse frequency, but do not report this to the attendants.

Cardiologists who took part in the study called the concealment of the results collected by smart gadgets the main mistake of users. So, Dr. Lakshmi Mehta brought as an example of patients who follow the pressure of patients who willingly talk about observations to specialists. Mehta emphasized that it is necessary to respond to changes in the work of the heart, and not wait for an accident or hospitalization.

The study also showed that smart watches became the most popular device to control the state of the heart – they used 32 percent of respondents. In second place was a portable tonometer-31 percent, in the third-various fitness applications that received a share of 19 percent.

In conclusion, cardiologists noted that the normal heart rate at rest is 60-100 beats per minute. The maximum pulse with physical activity can be calculated by subtracting the age of a person from 220.

In mid -January, American scientists have found that smart watches can be useful in determining the inflammatory intestinal disease (BCC). According to statistics, ISK was diagnosed in 2.4 million people in the United States.
