Apple Watch users are now able to enrol in a new study Apple is conducting with Stanford University School of Medicine, which uses the device’s heart-rate monitor to check for an irregular heart rate. Health and fitness have been a key focus for Apple, especially since launching the Apple Watch two years ago. To join the study, Apple Watch owners must download the Apple Heart Study app. By enrolling using devices, Apple has said, it makes it easier for scientists to both find and monitor study participants. But Apple researchers said they believe the Watch will provide a representative sample of the population for their study.
