A decade ago, checking your heart rhythm required a clinic visit and specialised equipment. Today, many adults in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain can record their heart rate, rhythm, sleep quality, and activity levels directly from their wrist. Smart watches, fitness trackers, and mobile health apps are no longer just lifestyle accessories. In 2026, […]

We often speak about heartbreak as if it is poetic. Stress makes the heart race. Anxiety feels like pressure in the chest. Grief can leave a person physically exhausted.
