Apple expects to get Afib FDA Class II device approval soon. We think it'll be by Fall. This is a big deal because it's just the second feature that has Class II approval on Watch. It records data from clinical health to sleep metrics. https://twitter.com/...

I am begging Apple to stop this until they've figured out their battery life situation. My Fitbit Versa 3 has all my running features *and* a 3-5 day battery life even with the always-on screen mode enabled. Pls, Apple, figure it out 🙏🏾 https://twitter.com/...

This is gonna be tough for Garmin to deal with. Enhanced running metrics on Apple Watch completely closes the gap on dedicated fitness wearables. Forerunner watches are already the same price... #WWDC22 https://twitter.com/...

Interesting move into medication management by Apple. Medication reminders, scanning of meds, drug interactions, family sharing. Interested in how they manage drug names in regions, and drug interactions can be a complex communication. Danger of raising inappropriate concerns. ht…

For so long the question has been “what is the point of a smartwatch?” It does seem like the greatest benefit of an Apple Watch, or smartwatch in general, is for health and fitness. Medication reminders as well as data to warn people about mixing meds, or w/alcohol 👍 #WWDC22 http…

Excited about these new running features coming to the Apple Watch. You can measure stride length, ground contact time and vertical oscillation + new workout option that'll let you focus on speed, endurance, or time intervals and give you haptic or voice feedback! #WWDC22 https:/…

The product is *not* some benign medication interaction app. The product is to sell influence over medical care and biomedical research through a series of advertising, recommendation, and ranking products sold to insurance and pharmaceutical companies. https://twitter.com/...
