Dr. Buiting described this technique as an “off-label” use of Apple, explaining how the Apple Watch helps veterinarians monitor their furry patients during medical exams and surgeries.
The idea for monitoring the heart rate of this wild animal came from Instagram user Dr. Fabiola Quesada, a prominent wildlife veterinarian and conservationist.
Dr. Chloe Buiting reports that the Apple Watch has even been used to monitor the heartbeat of an elephant by attaching the watch to its ears.
