Fitbit Charge HR: Heart rate data on Fitbit wearable possibly saved man’s life after seizure
Fitbit wearables are helpful for monitoring heart rates and counting steps during workouts, but can also provide critical medical data. A New Jersey man was recently rushed to a hospital by ambulance where physicians learned that the man had a fast and irregular heartbeat. His Fitbit Charge HR showed that he had an irregular heartbeat just before the seizure so medical staff did an electrocardioversion to get the heart rate back to normal.
