== Symptoms ==
The '''Apple Watch''' is a line of [[smartwatch]]es produced by [[Apple Inc.]]. It incorporates fitness tracking, health-oriented capabilities, and wireless telecommunication, and integrates with [[iOS]] and other Apple products and services. The Apple Watch was first introduced in April 2015 and has since seen several iterations, each adding new features and improvements.
The primary symptom of arsenical keratosis is the appearance of multiple, small, corn-like elevations on the skin. These are typically found on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, but can also occur on other parts of the body. The lesions may be of varying sizes and are often accompanied by hyperpigmentation and hyperkeratosis.  


== Causes ==
==History==
[[Arsenic]] is the primary cause of arsenical keratosis. Chronic exposure to this element, whether through the environment or through occupational exposure, can lead to the development of this condition.  
The Apple Watch was announced by [[Tim Cook]] on September 9, 2014, and was released on April 24, 2015. It was Apple's first new product category since the introduction of the [[iPad]] in 2010. The initial version of the Apple Watch was available in three models: Apple Watch, Apple Watch Sport, and Apple Watch Edition.


== Diagnosis ==
==Design and Features==
Diagnosis of arsenical keratosis is typically made through a combination of clinical examination and patient history. A skin biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis.  
The Apple Watch features a square display with rounded corners and is available in various sizes and materials. It includes a "Digital Crown" that can be used to scroll, zoom, and navigate, and a "Force Touch" display that can distinguish between a tap and a press.


== Treatment ==
===Health and Fitness===
Treatment for arsenical keratosis primarily involves reducing or eliminating exposure to arsenic. Topical treatments may also be used to manage the symptoms of the condition. In some cases, surgical removal of the lesions may be necessary.  
The Apple Watch includes a heart rate sensor, accelerometer, and gyroscope, which allow it to track a variety of fitness activities. It can monitor heart rate, track workouts, and provide reminders to stand and move. Later models introduced features such as [[electrocardiogram]] (ECG) capabilities and blood oxygen monitoring.


== Prognosis ==
===Connectivity===
The prognosis for arsenical keratosis is generally good, particularly if exposure to arsenic can be reduced or eliminated. However, there is a risk of malignant transformation, so regular monitoring is recommended.  
The Apple Watch connects to the user's iPhone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, allowing it to receive notifications, make phone calls, and send messages. Some models also include cellular connectivity, enabling them to function independently of the iPhone.
