For example, a patient decides to lose weight and downloads an app that syncs with their Fitbit band. The bracelet will monitor the patient's steps, heart rate and offer the possibility to enter the meals consumed during the day. During the day, while walking to work, the patient's heart rate exceeds 115 beats per minute. The patient could use the data obtained to discuss options with their doctor. The patient may need to be referred to a cardiologist for further testing, but without the patient being able to see their heart rate, they may never have been made aware of a possible heart problem
