There are several reports of Apple products like iPhones, and Apple Watches saving lives of its users. And now, it is being reported that an Apple smartwatch has saved its users life by detecting a rare tumor. According to a report by cbsnews.com, the smartwatch has saved the life of Kim Durkee, a Maine woman by alerting her heart was in atrial fibrillation. “The 67-year-old bought the watch to help monitor her exercise regimen and to summon emergency help should she fall. She never dreamed the watch featuring Minnie Mouse would help diagnose a deadly tumor,” the report said.

After the Apple watch alerted Kim for the atrial fibrillation for a couple of days, she went to the emergency room where the doctors confirmed that her heart was beating erratically as she had a myxoma, a rare, fast growing tumor that was choking off her heart's blood supply and could have caused a stroke.
