What is the Apple Watch? Many people who don't use Apple devices surely don't know about this device, but those who use Apple devices must know about it, and even many users have developed a dependency on Apple Watch, treating it as a medical diagnostic tool.
According to related reports, Apple has added many health and fitness functions to Apple Watch, which is a boon for many people who are more concerned about their health. Many long-term Apple Watch wearers use this device to monitor their health, and they can also show their health data to doctors, so many people also believe that the Apple Watch has saved many lives. Of course this has its benefits and drawbacks, it shows that people are taking their health more seriously, but at the same time it can also lead many users to misunderstand and mistakenly think of the device as a tool for medical diagnosis.
Many users get very inconclusive results when using it and repeat the test with it over and over again, which also makes them feel anxious about their health, and this anxiety increases as they get inconclusive results. It is important to know that this device is definitely not very accurate in testing the health of a person and it can be interfered by many reasons and it is definitely not comparable to the specialized equipment in hospitals. Moreover, people who use this kind of equipment will also have all kinds of psychological hints to themselves when they use it, and if the data of the test shows that it is not normal, they will keep on testing it again and again until it is normal. This is actually a hint to themselves that they need to know that they are healthy and that they want this device to give them that kind of result.
Obviously the Apple Watch can't be used as a medical diagnostic tool. It does offer many health features, but if you really want to know if you're healthy, you'll need to go to a hospital for a professional diagnosis. Experts also say that there is a big difference between health measurements and medical devices, health measurements can only play a certain role in guidance, while the real medical devices can test the health of the human body, so they can not be confused with each other.
