Doctors worried because cocana consumers trust Apple Watch as lifeguards

In iPhone News we echoed a large number of news related to people who thanks to the functions of the Apple Watch, they have been able to save life. Being a blog in which we talk about Apple, we only talk about Apple product news, but presumably other devices, whether Samsung or Fitbit have also had the opportunity to save the odd life.

Some doctors in the United States have begun to show concern about the particular use made by some consumers, especially cocaine, since they are based on the detection of the heartbeat that both the Apple Watch and other devices allow them Control the consumption they make and how it affects them.

The problem with this technology for regular cocaine users is that it does not protect them from consumption, but quite the opposite, since encourages them to increase their consumption if they have at their disposal a device that allows them to know at all times, how consumption is affecting them. If the beats are normal, or within relative normality, these users increase consumption until the Apple Watch sends them a notification. According to Ethan Weiss, cardiologist and associate professor at the University of San Francisco:

Taking drugs is always a risk, whether the heart rate is being monitored or not. In addition, it is possible that this type of device is motivating users to consume more cocaine due to the supposed sense of security that these types of quantifiers give.

Weis says he has treated a number of patientsCocaine users, who use both the Apple Watch and other quantifiers, to analyze how each consumption affects them. According to Weis, there is no guarantee of accuracy in these types of devices (although many studies state the opposite). Cocaine use, in addition to other substances, affects not only heart rate but also blood pressure, so the measurements made by wearables are not 100% valid.
