Re: Apple Health App

I understand the watch will dial 911 about 30 seconds after a fall
unless you interrupt that process. It will advise emergency services
that you have fallen and advise your location.

I don't know whether there's similar for heart attacks, stroke, etc.
Would be interesting to learn.

The medical support people I've talked with recently see the watch as a
worthy substitute for the older medic alert systems people would wear
around the neck. I find all this quite persuasive personally.

RE: Apple Health App

2024-05-30 Thread Jessica Barr
I'm not sure about heart attacks or stroke, but it will notify you if your 
resting heart rate goes above 120 BPM, you can do an ECG, and depending on 
which Apple Watch you have you could check your blood oxygen level. You can 
also use it to track your sleep. It isn't always accurate, but it should get 
better at it over time.

Looking for a smart speaker as an alternative system to check my audio masters 
from the studio.
Is it still true that the HomePod mini cable is fixed in place?
Is the Apple HomePod 2 the best way to go?
Any hands on recommendations?
Thanks

Donna and others,
   Appreciate the input. This is quite interesting, the potential 
benefits. I took a quick look and see that the series 9 starts at about 
$400 and the Ultra 2 at about $700 something. I think the series 9 
warrants a further look. Which model do you have? Thanks much.

2024-05-30 Thread 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries
Hi ET,

I have the series 9.  But one thing to know is that Apple got sued for a patent 
violation with the Oxygen sensor.  So The watch 9 no longer comes with that 
capability.  With that in mind, depending on your needs of course, you might 
want to consider the less expensive series 8.  It also contains the emergency 
alert technology and the fall detection.
Cheers,
Donna

Original musician sound on/off?

2024-05-30 Thread 'Patrick Ford' via MacVisionaries
Hi, on zoom using my iPhone, I was trying to find the button to turn off the 
original musician sound on zoom for my guitar class. It’s essential that that’s 
off or it may have to be turned on. I kind of forget right now, but I have to 
do one or the other for my teacher to hear me better. I could not find this 
button. Can anyone tell me where it may be? Thanks so much. Patrick.

Re: Apple Health App

2024-05-30 Thread Jonathan Cohn
I think you mean the blood oxygen sensor. Watches are not cabable of
measureing blood pressure.
Also, since the Watch 8 was mentioned, the primary difference between a
Watch 8 and a Watch 9 that I remember is that the 9 (and also the Ultra 2 )
can do some speech processing on the watch directly and don't need to hand
it off.
I believe there were also some changes in the  technology used for crash
detection. .

You’ll find it under more, but there are some steps you have to take first. 
Make sure the option is enabled in your Zoom account. This has to be done on 
the web site. Next, in the Zoom Options on the phone, Enable it under meetings. 
Then once you go on a call, you’ll find the option under more to enable it. 
Make sure to where corded headphones.

RE: Apple Health App

2024-05-30 Thread Jessica Barr
That's right, I had forgotten about that. I have the Series 8, and mine still 
has the oxygen sensor. It isn't something I typically use, but I just tried it 
to see if it was still available to me and how it worked. I purchased my Apple 
Watch long before that lawsuit, though. New Apple Watches will be coming in a 
few months. It will be interesting to hear what new features and capabilities 
they will have.

   When is the next Apple event, anyone know? I may wait until I hear 
before I decide on an Apple watch.

Hi ET,
I have the series 9.  But one thing to know is that Apple got sued for a patent 
violation with the Oxygen sensor.  So The watch 9 no longer comes with that 
capability.  With that in mind, depending on your needs of course, you might 
want to consider the less expensive series 8.  It also contains the emergency 
alert technology and the fall detection.
Cheers,
Donna

Donna and others,
   Appreciate the input. This is quite interesting, the potential benefits. I 
took a quick look and see that the series 9 starts at about $400 and the Ultra 
2 at about $700 something. I think the series 9 warrants a further look. Which 
model do you have? Thanks much.

Re: Apple Health App

2024-05-30 Thread 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries
Hi Jessica,

I have the blood oxygen sensor as well, because I purchased my 9 last fall 
before the legal ruling requiring them to remove it.  I don’t use it much 
either, but since everyone’s needs are different, I thought I would mention it.
Cheers,
Donna
