Résumé

The prevalence of smartwatches and other wearable medical technology has been increasing yearly. These watches offer a sensitive tool for capturing cardiac dysrhythmias and can lead to patients seeking earlier medical advice. This case report highlights the importance of clinicians seeking and using the information provided by wearable medical technology which in this case resulted in both the timely treatment of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia and lung adenocarcinoma.
