"Doctor's Apple Watch Rescue at 30,000 Feet"

TL;DR Summary
Dr. Rashid Riaz, a British doctor, used a flight attendant's Apple Watch to save a sick plane passenger's life by gauging her blood oxygen levels during a flight from Birmingham to Verona. The woman, who had a history of heart issues, was stabilized with an oxygen cylinder until landing in Italy, where she received further medical assistance and recovered quickly. Dr. Riaz praised the airline's response but suggested that airlines carry diagnostic health tools on board for emergencies.
