Research shows smartwatches can detect COVID-19 long before symptoms appear
The Apple Watch is heavily geared towards health and fitness-related features. In particular, this makes it possible with their help to identify early signs of disturbances in the normal functioning of the body. Research from Mount Sinai Health System hospitals in New York and Stanford University in California has shown that Apple Watch can detect signs of COVID-19 before the user experiences symptoms.
The fact is that Apple’s wearable device is capable of detecting minor changes in the heartbeat, potentially indicating the initial stage of COVID-19. Heart rate variability, that is, the uniformity of the intervals between beats, is often associated with an inflammatory process in the body.
The Mount Sinai Health System study included 300 healthcare workers who wore an Apple Watch for six months. Stanford University in California conducted a study involving over 5,000 people who wore a variety of smartwatches, including Apple Watch, Fitbit, and Garmin. The study found that 81% of affected participants experienced the heart rate abnormalities described above more than a week before the onset of more pronounced COVID-19.
Unlike conventional medical devices used for single measurements, smartwatches can monitor the heart rate around the clock, which allows you to identify even minor but systematic violations, which are likely to indicate a disease.

Is this the success of the expensive Watch Ultra? Apple says two-thirds of its watch buyers last quarter were new customers
Apple said that it has managed to attract many new customers to its smartwatches.
After publishing its latest quarterly report, the company revealed that in the past quarter, almost two-thirds of Apple Watch customers (nearly 66%) were new customers for this type of device, meaning they had never owned an Apple Watch before.
It is quite possible that this is due to the announcement of the Watch Ultra model, which, in general, is quite different from the usual versions, and is positioned differently.
At the same time, we know from the report that sales of wearable and home electronics in the last quarter at Apple decreased slightly. Unfortunately, Apple does not speak separately about watch sales – it is quite possible that sales have just grown in this segment.
Also recall that last year Apple took 85% of all profits in the smartphone market.
Mobfree has introduced a two-way wireless charger for the Apple Watch and other smartwatches.
This charger, which resembles a flash drive, connects to the USB-C connector, as shown in the photo. It can also be connected to a fast charging adapter with a USB-C connector.
The manufacturer claims that the new charger supports Apple Watch starting from the second generation, as well as all generations of smart watches Samsung Galaxy Watch.
At the stage of collective financing on the Kickstarter platform, those who wish can order a novelty for $ 20.
Deliveries to first customers are scheduled for June 2023.
BOE showcased its latest developments at the ISE 2023 European Professional Audiovisual Show, including a large monitor for viewing 3D content without glasses.
This 110″ 8K 3D monitor supports 120Hz refresh rate. The manufacturer claims that the three-dimensional image on the TV screen can be seen by several users from different angles.
The TV uses innovative lens array technology combined with MiniLED and quantum dot backlight technology. So far, users can see stereoscopic images at a distance of no more than 1.5 m from the screen. However, the manufacturer states that work is ongoing, so the distance will be significantly increased in the future. Such TVs are planned to be widely used in advertising, exhibitions and many other scenarios.
BOE also showcased the first 162-inch MiniLED TV with a peak brightness of 1000 cd/m2new 65″ ultra-slim 8K TVs with 3024 local dimming zones, an 86″ interactive touch screen panel and more.
