Van Hutcherson Shares His Story

Van Hutcherson is sharing his story and it sounds like an Apple Watch helped alert him to an issue that saved his life. This is a man who takes care of himself by working out and watching what he eats, but that didn’t stop him from having a health issue. He woke up to a notification from his Apple Watch that his heart was beating fast. He just kept getting the notifications too so he decided to look into it.

Van shared, saying:

“This was so far out of left field. I wasn’t feeling great, but I thought I was just a little tired. I went to the Apple store to buy a new watch because I thought mine was broken. I got it, put the new one on and it started sending me more alerts.”

It did turn out that something was wrong with his heart. Van went to the emergency room and was admitted right away. It turned out that he had an atrial flutter. These notifications from his Apple Watch are what let him know about it and saved his life. Van started wearing one of these watches because his personal trainer thought it would be a good idea. He went on to explain how this saved his life.

“If I didn’t have this on my wrist and the data wasn’t pushing this to me so consistently, I would’ve ignored it. I would’ve just thought I was having an off day, I wasn’t feeling good, maybe I was having a little cold or whatever…I never thought it would be something so serious. And more than likely, it would’ve led to a stroke.”
