Derick Gant, 57, from Toledo, Ohio, suffered a stroke mid-workout while jump roping on July 23, 2024. A video he inadvertently recorded shows him collapsing moments after achieving a personal fitness goal. His Apple Watch detected irregular activity and alerted him, then contacted emergency services when he confirmed the need for help. Gant had stopped taking prescribed blood thinners, which led to a clot causing the stroke. Thanks to his active lifestyle and the smartwatch’s rapid intervention, he recovered 90% within 24 hours. Neurologist Dr. Mouhammad Jumaa highlighted the critical role of fitness, diet, and technology in stroke prevention and survival. Gant has since fully recovered and credits his Apple Watch for saving his life. Apple Watch Ultra 3 Likely To Launch in 2025, May Include Hypertension Detection Feature; Know Expected Specifications and Other Details.
