A Cincinnati woman named Kimmy Watkins had her life saved by her Apple Watch, which detected a resting heart rate of 178 beats per minute while she was sleeping. She was later diagnosed with a Pulmonary Embolism, a condition with a 50% fatality rate. The Apple Watch's ability to monitor heart rate while the wearer is sleeping is what allowed it to detect the problem. The article also mentions that smartwatches and phones do not have the same legal protection for health data as traditional medical records.
