Apple CEO wants the company to be remembered for its contribution to health care

When you think about Apple, what is the first thing that will come to mind? Depending on your question, the answer could be computers, smartphones, tablets, iPods, etc., but it appears that this is not necessarily the legacy that CEO, Tim Cook wants the company. Instead, Tim Cook appears to be hoping Apple's legacy will be high-status: health care.

Mr. Tim Cook was quoted as saying in an interview with Nikkei Asian Review: “If you ask me what Apple’s greatest contribution to humanity is, it will be in the healthcare field.” The Apple CEO also mentioned Apple devices such as Apple Watch that have successfully brought the ECG electrocardiogram tool to their wrists.

According to Mr. Tim Cook, this changes the way people monitor heart health, saying: “In fact, only a few people do electrocardiograms per year, which is a very small percentage of the population. Now, this tool is on your wrist. ” According to Tim Cook, he mentioned that Apple Watch has saved many lives since its debut.

Aside from the ECG feature, we've also heard rumors that Apple may be working on more health features for the Apple Watch, among which is a non-invasive way to measure glucose levels in the user.
