The Warrior Watch Study found that subtle changes in a participant s heart rate variability (HRV) measured by an Apple Watch were able to signal the onset of COVID-19 up to seven days before the individual was diagnosed with the infection via nasal swab, and also to identify those who have symptoms. This study highlights the future of digital health, says the study s corresponding author Robert P. Hirten, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine (Gastroenterology) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and member of the Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Health at Mount Sinai and the Mount Sinai Clinical Intelligence Center (MSCIC).
A new study from Mount Sinai researchers published in the peer-reviewed “Journal of Medical Internet Research” found that wearable hardware, and specifically the Apple Watch, can effectively predict a positive COVID-19 diagnosis up to a week before current PCR-based nasal swab tests. The investigation dubbed the “Warrior Watch Study,” used a dedicated Apple Watch and […]

In the Warrior Watch Study, slight changes were detected in the heart rate variability (HRV) of a specific participant, and these were quantified by an Apple Watch.
It seems the Apple Watch that you wear can help detect even Covid19 as researchers have found that the device can identify such cases earlier than traditional diagnostic methods and can help track and improve management of the disease
