"Apple Watch Saves Woman's Life on Ryanair Flight"

An off-duty NHS doctor used an Apple Watch to save the life of a 70-year-old woman who suffered a medical emergency on a flight from Birmingham to Verona. Dr. Rashid Riaz borrowed the device and used its Blood Oxygen software to assess the patient's oxygen levels, prompting the airline crew to provide oxygen and contact emergency services. Apple has noted that the Blood Oxygen app is not intended for medical use and is only designed for general fitness and wellness purposes.

"Apple's Strategy to Avoid US Import Ban: Removing Blood-Oxygen Tool from Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2"

Apple will be able to bypass the US import ban on Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 by removing the Blood Oxygen app from the devices, following a patent dispute with Masimo. The company has already shipped modified units to its US locations but is awaiting approval to sell them. The decision may be upended if the International Trade Commission disagrees with the US Customs and Border Protection's determination. Apple's concession won't affect existing users with the app, and the company may roll out a new version of the app once the patent issue is resolved.
