A wildlife veterinarian discovered that the Apple Watch can measure a lion's heart rate if you strap it to the tongue.
Move over humans, the king of the jungle is getting high-tech health checks! Veterinarians in Australia are pioneering a new approach to wildlife health monitoring using, believe it or not, Apple Watches. Dr Chloe Buiting, a wildlife vet with the online moniker "@Jungle_doctor," shared a fascinating video on Instagram showcasing this innovative technique.
The video shows a sedated lion with an Apple Watch strategically placed on its tongue. This "off-label" use, as Dr. Buiting describes it, highlights the remarkable potential of technology in animal conservation. The caption reads: "@apple Watch can measure a lion's heart rate if you strap it to the tongue... a true 'technology meets conservation' story."
Dr. Buiting credits Dr. Fabiola Quesada, a renowned wildlife veterinarian, for inspiring this technique. Dr Quesada first used an Apple Watch to measure an elephant's heart rate by attaching it to the animal's ear. This method offers a safe and effective solution to the challenge of monitoring vital signs in large, wild animals.
