      • From Jill McKinley:

        Here is a video of kids trying to treat magazines like an iPad. The second video was the one I was thinking about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXV-yaFmQNk and https://smallstepswithai.com/

            • Handout from Jill McKinley?

              • Hi Charles

                There was no handout for this meeting, though I believe I remember Jill talking about sharing her presentation slides. Hopefully Chita can shed some light on this…

                • Does Apple Watch provide significant health benefits for users who do not subscribe to Fitness+?

                    • Absolutely!

                      Fitness+ is “just” the Trainer-led exercises, yoga, meditation, etc., that you can subscribe to. The Fitness app, which Fitness+ is a part of if you subscribe to it, displays your daily activities; Stand, Move, Exercise, steps, distance, flights climbed, etc., regardless of if you subscribe to Fitness+.

                      Apple Watch collects and displays metrics/data such as ECG, Blood Oxygen, Sleep data, loud noises, Heart Rate, etc., in addition to Fitness and Fitness+ data.

                      The Apple Watch will also detect if you fall (and call emergency services if you are unable to respond), if you possibly have AFib, Sleep Apnea, and more.

                      I would say that the Apple Watch has significant health benefits.

                    • Excellent presentation on a topic we ALL can use/benefit from, Jill. Bravo! Really enjoyed this. Especially impactful because it comes from a “success story” — you! 😇

                      • Jill McKinley was kind enough to share her presentation with us.
