London sources have stated that a man in the US has recently claimed an Apple Watch app notification saved his life after it detected signs of a life-threatening blood clot in his lungs and alerted him to get medical attention. Meanwhile, the New York resident James Green had got an alert from the HeartWatch app, which monitors a person's heart rate constantly throughout the day and notifies users when their resting heart rate rises above or dips below a certain threshold.

Further, Green said in a tweet "Never thought a stupid little wrist computer he bought two years ago would save his life. Saw his heart rate go up, ended up being a pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs)". Moreover, the app notified him that his heart rate was continuously above his usual heart rate of 54 beats per minute. "That along with other symptoms he was having was enough data he needed to act on it, realize it wasn't a panic attack that it was something more".


Furthermore a CT scan in the hospital showed that Green suffered a blood clot in his lungs. His doctor said the clot could have been fatal if Green had waited longer to get medical attention. Because some fitness trackers and smartwatches include heart rate monitors, the devices can potentially alert people to certain health problems that cause changes in heart rate.
