Apparently, it worked so well that the company that invented the O2 sensor or whatever sued Apple and won an injunction. A ruling from the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that found Apple had infringed on patents held by Masimo, a medical technology company. This ruling specifically targeted Apple’s blood oxygen monitoring technology. For a time, I think Apple stopped selling it's latest watches in the US, The case was finally settled.

The accuracy of metrics measured by the Apple Watch varies depending on the specific measurement being evaluated, such as heart rate, VO2Max, and calorie expenditure. Heart Rate Measurement The Apple Watch has demonstrated clinically acceptable accuracy for heart rate (HR) measurements, particularly during peak exercise intensity. Studies have shown that the watch’s HR measurements correlate well with gold standard ECG readings, with a mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) ranging from 6.33% to 10.69% across different activity levels. Specifically, the Apple Watch was found to have a trivial mean bias during walking and jogging, indicating that it does not significantly overestimate or underestimate HR values. In another study involving patients with abnormal heart rhythms, the Apple Watch achieved 100% accuracy within 10 beats per minute compared to ECG readings. VO2Max Estimation For VO2Max estimates, the Apple Watch shows a high degree of accuracy, with an error margin of about 4% from true values. A study conducted by Apple validated its cardio fitness algorithm against actual VO2Max estimates and found a reliability coefficient (ICC) between 0.86 and 0.89, indicating strong reliability in its measurements.

I don't know about "unapproved" medical devices, but I'm blown away by all the different things that can be measured by my Apple Watch. And they keep improving the software. Th watch, along with a few different apps, monitor metrics that I have never heard of. Anyway, they put it all together and give you a seemingly accurate analysis of your current health. I don't think the watch can currently monitor blood sugar levels, but that may be coming in the future.

Some people seem to get by with tourist visas and a border run or visa run every 90 days. Fir example, fly to Bangkok for a long weekend.

Why is it we never see stories abut Killer Cocker Spaniels? Or killer Poodles or Beagles? Or the viscous Golden Retrievers?

Part of a giant depopulation project? That just might be it. Crimes against humanity? People tend to get upset when other people try to kill them.

And that's the problem, thanks to the "Democrats" and their weaponization of the justice system and the courts. The proverbial "Man From Mars" would take one good look at what they did and conclude that the USA is now the epitome of a Banana Republic. The corruption was off the charts and, to make matters worse, those people actually thought they were invincible. They believed their own nonsense.

Lying to Congress? Withholding evidence? That's what a trial would flush out. What happened and why. "Just dong their job" is not necessarily an excuse for illegal activity.

Believe it or not, some government employees don't even have a workplace to return to. They've worked at home for years. I know at least one person like that. I guess they'll have to rent some additional office space if they want her at a desk.

Surely they can be challenged. They might not get very far, depending. https://digitalcommons.law.wne.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1815&context=lawreview

Not at a 7-11, but at another convenience store I caught them when they shorted my change by 100 baht. Maybe it was deliberate, maybe it was a mistake. Anyway, at that same store, another cashier once gave me 500 baht too much when I paid using a1000 baht bill. I handed its right back to her. I suppose I should pay more attention to the transactions.

Of course, it never crossed your mind that real crimes may have been committed? Or do you think "just following orders" makes it all OK?

He's pardoning these people because he knows full well that they're in trouble if he doesn't. It's just a matter f time, though, before the truth comes out.

I guess my point was that, at ;east for younger people, testing for A1C isn't the holy grail. Insulin sensitivity can show up years before the A1C tests show a problem with high glucose levels. So, for them, why not alter their diet? Why should they not start eating right?

There's nothing wrong with altering your diet and eating right. Maybe that's all you can do, in any event. Unfortunately for some people, they don't start worrying about being "pre-diabetic" until the A1C tests start indicating that there's a problem. And yet the problem could have been detected years earlier. Why not nip the problem, in the bud?

Well designed? LOL. It's humanity taking. Free speech. Community notes. People aren't as stupid as you seem to think they are.

Do yourself a favor and get some insulin sensitivity tests. As I understand it, we all start out with a system that naturally regulates blood glucose levels. Insulin does that, and it does a good job, at first. But if you abuse your body, year after year with various types of sugars, you slowly develop what is called insulin resistance. And at some point, the insulin can no longer keep up. That's when the blood tests begin to show high glucose levels. That's when the A1C begins to be higher. But the real damage began years ago. So it pays to check it out. A!C tests are not the gold standard.

He says he has Aspergers syndrome, which, if you ask today's mental health professionals, is an outdated term. Now, they consider it as just another part of the Autism spectrum,

It really is just around the corner.

An even better indicator of potential problems would be an insulin sensitivity test. These tests can show abnormalities long before they become apparent via the A1C test.

A free concert. Sounds like a good deal to me.. People don't know what they're missing.

Even if you assume all that, what's the alternative? A brainwashed fact checker? People will figure it out. The town square. All sort of nuts, and yet life goes on. That's reality. Have you ever lived in NYC? Ever been to the heart of Manhattan? All sorts of nuts, on every street corner. Some have microphones and amplifiers. They'll tell you about Jesus, or the end of the world, or the evils of capitalism. They spew nonsense 4/7. And yet most people pay no attention. They just walk on by. And life goes on. The crazy people are no danger to anyone. What's the real danger? People who want to shut down free speech because they think they know what's best. Those are the dangerous people.

You have been brainwashed. My condolences. You just don't understand. People should be able to say whatever. If it's nut, the other people will figure that out. What's the alternative? A brainwashed fact checker?

I don't have any kind of breathing difficulties, so I don't notice. For those that do, I'm not sure there will be any changes anytime soon. Air pollution isn't unique to Thailand. Big cities all over the world have a similar problem. The very first time I flew into Los Angeles, it was a beautiful day. Sunshine and clear skies. Then, as we approached LA, there was a brown fog over the city. Clear skies one minute, and a few minutes later the plane descended through a bunch of pollution. That was LA, back in the day. You could be on the ground in LA, and not be able to see the mountains for all the pollution. Partly, it's the result of a temperature inversion or whatever. Some cities have it wore than others.

Platforming? It's called free speech. An important right in America. Without that, we have nothing. The rest is just noise.
