<p>The tiny Apple Watches on our wrists have already saved lives (https://www.macworld.com/article/3099664/ios/how-my-apple-watchs-heart-rate-monitoring-saved-my-life.html). Not only do they keep us more active, they can also detect a variety of heart diseases (https://www.macworld.com/article/3239351/wearables/with-new-ekg-monitor-and-heart-study-app-apple-watch-could-one-day-save-your-life.html) without needing any additional bands or accessories. But a new study by <a href="https://cardiogr.am" rel="nofollow">Cardiogram[/url] is taking it one step further.</p><p>The mobile health data company’s deep learning network, DeepHeart, already uses data from the Apple Watch ($429 on <a class="productLink" href="https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-watch/apple-watch" rel="nofollow" data-productid="1439418" data-product-name="Apple Watch Series 3 with GPS + Cellular" data-vars-product-name="Apple Watch Series 3 with GPS + Cellular" data-po="vendor" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-watch/apple-watch" data-product-id="1439418" data-vars-product-id="1439418" data-bkc="Mobile" data-bkmfr="Apple" data-vars-bkmfr="Apple" data-bkvndr="Apple" data-vars-bkvndr="Apple">Apple.com[/url]) heart rate sensor to detect atrial fibrillation (https://www.macworld.com/article/3196132/ios/research-shows-the-apple-watch-can-detect-an-early-sign-of-heart-disease.html), hypertension, and sleep apnea. Now it’s adding a new disease to the list: diabetes. While Apple and Google have been rumored to be working on hardware capable of monitoring glucose levels (https://www.macworld.com/article/3189950/wearables/future-apple-watch-could-help-treat-diabetes-with-sensors-that-monitor-blood-sugar-levels.html), Cardiogram’s study used nothing more than machine learning and the Apple Watch’s heart rate sensor to detect whether a user has diabetes.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3253341/software-health/cardiogram-diabetes-apple-watch.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
