Rich Dyer, co-founder of music festival ticket website Skiddle, has credited his smartwatch with saving his life after it alerted him to a heart issue, which he initially ignored.
According to an interview with the BBC, Mr Dyer, 36, from Cheshire, had been experiencing symptoms of a heart problem for several days but initially dismissed them, thinking it was just stress.
It was only when his smartwatch alerted him to a potential heart issue that he sought medical attention. Unfortunately, he was unable to respond to the alert and had to be resuscitated at the scene.
Mr Dyer's heart was restarted using the Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and he was taken to hospital where he made a full recovery.
Mr Dyer has since spoken out about the importance of taking heart health seriously and not ignoring symptoms, especially in the early stages.
The incident highlights the potential benefits of wearable technology in detecting health issues and the importance of being vigilant about one's own health.
