SAN FRANCISCO: When an endurance runner with a history of heart failure felt under the weather, he brought his activity tracker data from a workout to his cardiologist. 

Dr Michael Blum examined the runner’s heart rate readings. The cardiologist could see when his patient was pushing to climb a hill or to increase his speed, and when he was slowing down.
