Scary mHealth message from my Apple Watch
“Analyzing data from 58,000 heart stress tests, Johns Hopkins cardiologists report they have developed a formula that estimates one’s risk of dying over a decade based on a person’s ability to exercise on a treadmill at an increasing speed and incline… …the new algorithm, dubbed the FIT Treadmill Score and described in the March 2 issue of the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings, can gauge long-term death risk in anyone based solely on treadmill exercise performance“

Makes it a little easier to appreciate how wearable devices like the Watch Apple (that is launching on Monday) are going to kill the $Trillion p/a Healthcare Insurance Industry.
