Pregnant Woman From US Credits Smartwatch For Saving Her Life With Alert On High Heart Rate

Speaking from experience, Kelly advised everyone to pay attention to their alerts. "It's not just a text message. Pay attention to it and listen to your body," she said.

New Delhi: A pregnant woman from the United States has credited her smartwatch that saved her and her unborn baby's lives by alerting her on abnormally high heart rate, news agency IANS reported.

According to the report, Jesse Kelly, who was just a few weeks away from her delivery, was not doing anything that would raise her heart rate to over 120 beats per minute. However, her Apple Watch kept alerting her that the heart rate was quite high.  

"It went off the first time and I thought it was strange. Then the second time maybe 10 minutes later or so and then the third time maybe a half hour or so later. When it went off the third time I thought 'OK something is going on," IANS quoted Kelly as saying.
