Can your Apple Watch detect pregnancy?
What if your Apple Watch or iPhone could alert you to a pregnancy before a test does? A new Apple-funded study suggests that this is now within reach. Researchers used a mix of behavioral and biometric data to train an artificial intelligence model. The result? The system correctly predicted pregnancy in 92% of cases. It is not meant to replace a lab test, but it could help women spot early signs before they even suspect anything. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide — free when you join my The research comes from the Apple Heart and Movement Study, which collected over 15 billion data points from more than 162,000 participants. The data came through the everyday use of the Apple Watch and iPhone. For the pregnancy research, the model analyzed information from 430 reported pregnancies and more than 25,000 non-pregnant participants. The AI looked at more than heart rate and temperature. It also examined movement patterns, sleep habits and exercise routines. According to the study, changes in behavior provided strong clues. For example, a shift in walking gait or a change in bedtime routine could signal early pregnancy. "Pregnancy results in substantial changes to an individual's behavior," the researchers said. "Hence, this task acts as a clear example of the complementary nature of modeling both types of data." Pregnancy was just one of several health conditions the AI model learned to identify. The researchers also tested the model on other health issues with strong results. It predicted diabetes with 82% accuracy, infection with 76% accuracy and injury with 69% accuracy. These findings suggest that AI-powered wearables may soon do much more than count steps or track sleep. They could help detect serious health changes before symptoms even appear. Even with these promising results, trust remains a major barrier in women's health technology. Privacy concerns are growing, especially when it comes to sensitive data like menstrual cycles or pregnancy. In 2023, the Federal Trade Commission fined the popular app Premom for sharing user data without consent. A recent FTC study confirmed growing skepticism. Women are less likely to trust apps that collect reproductive health information, especially when the companies do not make their data practices clear. That raises an important question. Even if the Apple Watch can detect early signs of pregnancy, would users want it to? Apple continues to build tools for reproductive and maternal health. In 2019, it added menstrual cycle tracking to the Health app. In 2023, it introduced a pregnancy tracking feature for the Apple Watch. The company has not announced any plans to turn the AI findings into a consumer feature. But this research shows where Apple's focus may be headed. With support from public health officials calling for widespread use of wearables, Apple could play a key role in shaping the future of personalized healthcare. More about the Apple Watch and what other health conditions it will help you uncover: This study shows that your Apple Watch may someday detect major health changes before you notice them. It is not a replacement for a doctor, but it could become a powerful early-warning tool. Still, trust and transparency will matter just as much as the technology itself. Would you feel comfortable if your watch told you that you might be pregnant or detect any other major health changes?

Tech expert who helped cops investigate a missing Bass Lake man has been charged in his murder
A 75-year-old real estate professional who went missing earlier this week was found dead in a Mojave Desert cave and authorities have charged an IT expert for the slaying after initially seeking help from the tech specialist in the investigation. The bizarre case resulted in the arrest Wednesday of 21-year-old Audrik Matevosian from Clovis in the murder of Robert 'Bob' Boyajian. Matevosian was charged Thursday with first-degree murder with special circumstances and grand theft, according to the Madera County Sherriff's Office. He is currently being held without bail. The case began when an employee of Boyajian grew concerned after he failed to show up to a meeting Monday morning. After numerous attempts to reach him via phone, the employee called 9-11 asking for a welfare check at his Bass Lake home. Boyajian was nowhere to be found. Deputies searched the home, finding no trace of foul play. His car was parked in the garage, a briefcase and the Apple Watch he reportedly always wore were located inside the home. Boyajian's phone and wallet were missing. The bedding from Boyajian's mattress was removed, according to deputies. After securing a warrant, investigators found a $1,000 ATM withdrawal made a day before the 9-11 call around 8:30 p.m. at a bank in Clovis, about 47 miles from Bass Lake. ATM surveillance footage showed a young man making the initial withdrawal, and two additional failed attempts. The young man was identified as Matevosian. Deputies had earlier approached Matevosian to access home security footage at Boyajian's home because it was Matevosian who performed the IT work at the house. Sheriff Tyson Pogue said Matevosian showed initial-responding deputies a screenshot indicating the system was offline. He directed authorities to a specific location inside a closet to locate the digital video recorder, or DVR hard drive that was used to convert signals from an analog camera. But the hard drive was missing. 'He showed them what apps to download, passwords, but deputies were still unable to access the footage,' Pougue said in a news conference Thursday. Before releasing the ATM photos to the public, investigators received two tips alleging Matevosian was involved in Boyajian's disappearance. After a search warrant was approved, investigators recovered two firearms from Matevosian's bedroom, a 9-milliliter handgun previously reported stolen by Boyajian in March and a 10-millimeter handgun registered under Boyajian's name. He was taken into custody Wednesday. Matevosian initially told investigators that Boyajian committed suicide, according to deputies. He later said Boyajian asked him to help him end his life. Matevosian finally confessed to the killing, saying Boyajian allegedly spoke disparagingly about his family, Pouge said. A financial gain incentivized the slaying, Pouge added. According to investigators, Matevosian purchased a body bag from Amazon a week before the killing. He allegedly rented a vehicle in Fresno on Monday and drove up to Boyajian's home Saturday. Matevosian spent the night after finishing an IT task and murdered Boyajian around midnight, according to Pouge. Authorities did not say how Boyajian was killed. Pouge said Matevosian wrapped Boyajian's body in the bedding and placed him inside the body bag, which he later buried in a Mojave Desert cave. Upon his return to Fresno, Matevosian took out $1,000 using Boyajian's information. Deputies found Boyajian's body in the cave. The San Bernardino Coroner's Office will determine his cause of death. Boyajian's phone was tossed at a local park, and his wallet was stashed inside Matevosian's gym locker, Pouge said. The $1,000 and home security system hard drive were inside the Matevosian's car, deputies added. The shovel allegedly used to bury Boyajian was also recovered. Matevosian told authorities he visited the burial site with Boyajian on an off-road trip. Pouge said Boyajian treated Matevosian and his brother like grandchildren. Matevosian's brother introduced the two after he was hired as a bookkeeper at Boyajian's real estate business in Fresno. 'It wasn't uncommon for them to take trips or stay the night at his house,' Pouge said. Boyajian worked in real estate for almost five decades, according to a KTLA 5 report. 'This was a calculated and callous act against a respected member of our community,' Pogue said. 'Our detectives worked tirelessly and methodically to bring justice to Mr. Boyajian and his loved ones. We're grateful for the collaboration with our partner agencies and the observant community members who helped move this case forward.' Pouge said Matevosian had no criminal record prior to the killing. Court records do not appear to show Matevosian's next appearance. He will be tried at Madera County Superior Court, according to the sheriff's office.
