The watch noticed that the woman’s heart rate had increased from her usual 57 to 72 for 15 days. The woman first suspected COVID and took the appropriate test, which came back negative.

The 32-year-old owner of the Apple Watch said she didn’t go to the gym and began investigating the reason for such a change, reading that it could indicate pregnancy. She did a quick test that confirmed she was indeed pregnant.

In this way, the watch informed the woman of her pregnancy before she had more appropriate tests done. The heroine of the story stated that if it were not for the watch, she herself would not have taken a pregnancy test.

I know this might be an unusual use for a watch, but if you’re a woman of childbearing age and the watch is showing an increased heart rate, it might be worth checking out.
– said the pregnant woman.

After the device’s prompts and related testing, the woman returned to the clinic, where she was confirmed to be four weeks pregnant at the time.

Apple Watch collects a lot of data about the user to track the physical condition of the user. At the same time, experts like Apple himself emphasize that the device is not professional medical equipment and can be mistaken, as is often the case, for example, with the function of measuring the oxygen content in the blood.
