How can an Apple Watch Save Lives?

The Redditor mentioned that a week before the post, "I had my iPhone/watch on dnd for work, and when I went on lunch, I was kind of tired, so I laid down on my couch for a quick nap."

After the nap, the owner checked the notifications and found at least 10 notifications stating that the pulse was racing.

"I called out the rest of the day and tried to lay around, but it didn't stop, so I scheduled a quick video with my doctor. My doctor had me check the times and pulse rates, had me check the oxygen and then went ahead and called 911 for me," the Redditor added.
