Peter Moore, the former head of Xbox, recently shared how his Apple Watch became a lifesaver. According to a report, the smartwatch alerted him to dangerously low heart rates, prompting him to seek urgent medical help. The alerts came when his heart rate dropped below a critical level while he was inactive, a feature designed to notify users of potential health problems.
Moore initially felt lightheaded and faint but brushed it off with a plan to visit Starbucks. When his Apple Watch started sending repeated alerts about his low heart rate, he realized it had fallen to a dangerously low 32 beats per minute. This persistent warning spurred him to take immediate action.

Moore pulled over and called his wife, who advised him to stay calm and drove him to the nearest hospital. There, doctors quickly determined that he needed a pacemaker right away. Thanks to the timely intervention, Moore had a successful pacemaker implantation and has since been feeling much better.
Dr. Omid Yousefian from Sansum Clinic Cardiology praised the Apple Watch for its crucial role in the situation. He noted that the watch’s alert led directly to the necessary medical intervention, and Moore’s swift decision to go to the hospital was a critical factor in his recovery.
Since the procedure, Moore has been recovering well and has expressed deep gratitude for the early warning from his Apple Watch. His experience highlights how wearable technology can be vital in monitoring health and handling emergencies.
