In the latest example of the Apple Watch proving to be a solid health device. The nursing student from Australia has said that she was diagnosed with a thyroid condition, and realised that her heart rate alerts on her Apple Watch had been alerting her of a condition since months before the diagnosis.

In the video, she explains how, in her case, the Apple Watch detected very early changes in her condition that were diagnosed months later.
