Medical Monitoring via Wearables (N=1 Data)

Wearable HRV/RHR tracking detected life-threatening conditions and monitored treatment response in diverse medical contexts.

N=1 Evidence

  • Bailey: Gastric bypass — RHR 85-90 → 54 bpm
  • Jillian: Stage 3c cervical cancer — HRV up to 60 ms (+200%)
  • Kim: Stress cardiomyopathy detected by RHR 55→85 bpm spike
  • Vernon: Pericardial effusion — RHR +20 bpm, temp +2°F

Wearables serve as early warning systems for acute medical events.
