Benjamin Levicek By investing in wearable electronics from Apple, you get a product that has huge potential not only as an extended arm of the iPhone, but also as a medical device that can even save your life in extreme cases. Thanks to sensors for measuring heart rate, but also blood oxygenation or EKG, Apple has bounced from the sphere of "cool" products for young people into a category that can also be considered by people with certain health problems. However, Apple also benefits from the App Store for watchOS, which has quite a few apps. Today we will focus on the ones that will move your watch forward in terms of healthcare.

Pillow
Sleep is no less important for our health. Although Apple has implemented a function in the watchOS 7 system that provides sleep measurement, however, if you expect something more advanced, I definitely recommend trying Pillow. In addition to the fact that it can automatically start the measurement just thanks to the Apple Watch, it is able to record the sounds you made while sleeping in cooperation with the iPhone, and everything can be played back in the morning. Like any modern sleep application, Pillow also offers a smart alarm clock, where you set a certain interval in which you need to get up, and the bell will sound when your sleep is the softest. You pay for premium functions in the form of sleep data export, the ability to analyze your heart rate, storing an unlimited amount of history and other benefits, the selection of tariffs is quite comprehensive.

Ambulance
Most of you are certainly familiar with the Záchranka application. This is software that will give you valuable advice in providing first aid with the help of interactive instructions, at the same time it can call the rescue or mountain service. In addition to dialing the phone number 155, it sends your exact current location. GPS coordinates are also used to display the nearest defibrillators, pharmacies and emergency rooms. The program on your wrist can't do much, but it is perfectly sufficient for quickly calling the emergency services, and you can save the life of your loved ones with the help of the watch.

Hello people.
I seriously love how everyone is trying to use the sleep monitoring feature in any way they can.
We all know that the Apple watch lasts a mere 17 hours, and that must still be very little use. The vast majority of owners of these watches charge them at night. That is that measuring sleep is more or less a humorous matter.
The endurance you mention is bullshit
I have the very first watches (one could say series 0), the truth is that I don't use them as a regular user, but only "offline". Mainly for paying in stores and watching sports activities, but it will last me two days ;)
Where did you find out that most owners charge their watches overnight? If the user wants to use the watch to monitor sleep, he can usually charge it before going to bed without any problems. The watch itself will even notify the user if the current charge level cannot last overnight. So it's definitely not a humorous matter, on the contrary - if you want, anything goes.
I have an AW S6 and it lasts 3-4 days without a problem.
Tomek, you probably don't use them much :-) two days completely fine in full operation.
