Apple has once again demonstrated its remarkable potential in the realm of health awareness and early intervention, with an Oklahoma woman attributing her life-saving diagnosis to her Apple Watch.

On an unassuming Friday morning in 2021, Judith Luebke, a resident of Oklahoma, received a vital notification on her Apple Watch, indicating an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (Afib). While she initially considered delaying a doctor’s visit, the alert from her watch, along with encouragement from those nearby, persuaded her to promptly seek medical attention.

Recalling the incident, she shared that on a Friday morning, she received a notification on her watch about being in A-FIB. She spoke with her boss that morning, mentioning, ‘I have a meeting to attend first. Perhaps I’ll visit the doctor afterward, or maybe I won’t, maybe I’ll wait until the weekend.’ Her boss advised advised, ‘You need to go right now.'”

As reported by KSWO, her prompt visit to the doctor unveiled a surprising diagnosis: Judith was diagnosed with diabetes and elevated blood sugar levels. It became clear that the Apple Watch‘s initial alert regarding Afib had played a pivotal role in identifying these conditions, ultimately saving her life, reported 9to5Mac.

Shannon Bowers, Judith’s daughter, also conveyed her appreciation for the life-saving diagnosis and attributed it to both the Apple Watch and the compassionate individuals in her mother’s life. Without the watch’s alert and the immediate response from those around her, the outcome might have taken a tragic turn.

Luebke even contacted Apple CEO Tim Cook to share her remarkable experience and received a response on the very same day. Cook expressed his happiness upon receiving her message and conveyed his delight that Apple’s technology had played a vital role in safeguarding her life.

The Apple Watch has become an essential part of Judith Luebke’s daily routine, and as she believes, “It truly saved my life.”
