Proper hand washing

It is necessary to look for at least a pinch of goodness in all evil - and the same applies in the case of the coronavirus pandemic, which has been here with us for more than two long years. Thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, practically the whole world has started paying much more attention to overall hygiene. Practically everywhere you can currently find stands with disinfectants and napkins, in stores hygiene products are located at the front of the shelves. Apple also added a hand to the work, adding a function to the apple watch to observe proper hand washing. If you start washing your hands, it will start a 20-second countdown, which is the ideal time for washing your hands, and it can also remind you to wash your hands when you get home.

Creating an ECG

An EKG, or electrocardiogram, is a test that records the timing and intensity of the electrical signals accompanying the heart's contractions. Using an EKG, your doctor can learn valuable information about your heart rhythm and look for irregularities. While a few years ago you had to go to the hospital to get an EKG, you can now do this test on all Apple Watch Series 4 and newer, except for the SE model. In addition, according to available studies, the ECG on the Apple Watch is very accurate, which is important.

Noise measurement

There's a lot going on behind the scenes on the Apple Watch. In addition to all this, the apple watch also listens to noise from the environment and measures it, with the fact that if it exceeds a certain value, it can alert you. Often just standing in a loud environment for a few minutes can lead to permanent hearing loss. With the Apple Watch, it can easily prevent this. In addition, they can alert you to too loud sound in the headphones, which the younger generation especially has a problem with.

Measurement of blood oxygen saturation

If you own an Apple Watch Series 6 or 7, you can use the Oxygen Saturation application, in which you can measure blood oxygen saturation. This is a very important figure representing the percentage of oxygen that the red blood cells are able to transport from the lungs to the rest of the body. By knowing how your blood performs this vital function, you can better understand your overall health. For most people, the value of blood oxygen saturation ranges from 95-100%, but there are of course exceptions with lower saturation. However, if the saturation is extremely low, it may indicate a health problem that needs to be addressed.

Mental health

When you think of health, most people think of physical health. But the truth is that mental health is also extremely important and must not be left behind. People who work hard should take at least a short break every day to take care of their mental health. Apple Watch can also help with the app mindfulness, in which you can start an exercise for breathing or thinking and calming down.
