Tech giant Apple is reportedly working on smart devices that could predict heart attacks by listening to the sound of blood.
Apple CEO Tim Cook had recently expressed that the company would be expanding into new product categories, potentially medicine and cars.
A report in San Francisco has claimed that Apple was working with audio engineer Tomlinson Holman to develop the heart attack predicting device, The Verge reports.
According to the report, Holman is known for developing several notable audio technologies, including Lucasfilm's THX system and the first 10.2 sound system.
Last month some of Apple's top executives were said to have met the US Food and Drug Administration to discuss the potential for 'mobile medical applications.'
It has been also claimed that Apple is eyeing electric car pioneer Tesla, hinting to the tech giant's interest in developing automotive technologies, the report added.
