The Apple Watch is proving itself to be a pretty useful health monitoring tool, where thanks to its built-in heart rate sensor and ECG monitor, users will be able to keep an eye on their heart health, and also be notified if there is something wrong. Now it looks like Apple wants to explore the possibility of the Apple Watch being used for strokes.
The company has announced that they will be teaming up with Johnson & Johnson for a new study in which they want to see if the Apple Watch can be used to potentially reduce the risk of a stroke. This is done by the early detection of irregular heartbeat, and Apple wants to see if the Apple Watch is capable of doing that.
This study will be available through the new Heartline app for the iPhone and will be open to those aged 65 or older and live in the United States. According to Apple’s Head of Health Strategic Initiatives Myoung Cha, “Apple technology is making a meaningful impact on scientific research through the powerful capabilities of iPhone and Apple Watch, all with privacy at the center of the participant experience.”
Cha adds, “The Heartline Study will help further understanding of how our technology could both contribute to science and help improve health outcomes, including reducing the risk of stroke.”

A couple of years ago, there was a Tesla that was involved in a fatal crash. Now according to the NTSB, it seems that they are laying some of the blame on Apple for the crash. While the governing body did lay most of the blame on Tesla, it seems that they believe that Apple should shoulder some of the responsibility.
But why? Apart from the fact that the victim in the crash was an Apple engineer, what has this got to do with Apple? As it turns out, the victim was playing games on his company-issued iPhone when the crash happened, and that the NTSB is blaming Apple for not putting enough measures in place to ensure that employees do not use their phones while driving.
According to a statement by NTSB Chair Robert Sumwalt, “Let me circle back to the issue of driver distraction – one that involves the role of employers. Employers have a critical role in fighting distracted driving. At the NTSB, we believe in leading by example. Over a decade ago, under the leadership of my former colleague and NTSB chairman, Debbie Hersman, NTSB implemented a broad-reaching policy which bans using Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) while driving. We know that such policies save lives.”
To Apple’s credit, they have introduced a do-not-disturb mode for driving, where if it detects that the user is in the car, it will turn off notifications and alerts to keep them focused. However, at the end of the day, if a person really wants to use their phone while they drive, we’re not sure how they can really be stopped.

For those unfamiliar, back in 2019, Valve launched an autochess battler in the form of Dota Underlords. The game has been on Steam Early Access for a while now which essentially meant that it was in beta, but the good news is that if you were looking forward to the full release, Valve has announced that the game has since left Early Access and that Season One of the game is now live.
If you haven’t played the game for a while, the game has changed quite a bit since it was in Early Access. There are many changes made to the UI of the game, there are different gameplay modes now, and there are a bunch of new heroes and characters that have been added to the game.
There is even a battle pass that can be bought for $5 which allows gamers to unlock a ton of rewards as they play through the game. We have been wondering how Valve planned to monetize the game, and it looks like the battle pass is one of those ways. For those who are unfamiliar, Dota Underlords is an autochess battler game.
The game will feature “chess” pieces placed on a board determined by the player that are based on Dota characters, where players need to figure out the right combination of character types in order to beat their opponents. The game itself is free to play and is available on iOS, Android, and Steam, so check it out if this sounds like something you might be interested in.
