Question

An 82-year-old with a history of heart problems wears a smartwatch with an app for monitoring heart rate. While working in the garden on a hot afternoon, the person feels tired and notices heart rates exceeding the recommended range. Even after finishing yard work, the watch shows a high heart rate. The telephone advice nurse recommends a visit to the ER, and subsequently, the 82-year-old is admitted to the hospital for an emergency heart catheterization to open a blocked artery. This scenario is an example of:

the reliability and accuracy of mHealth devices. a lucky break for someone who probably didn't know how to use a smartwatch. a health consumer using a mHealth tool to prevent a potentially life-threatening event. a random coincidence of symptoms that may or may not be related to data tracked by the smartwatch.
