Epowar app to help runners

The app uses a smartwatch linked to the user’s mobile phone. The watch monitors their heart rate and body motion and if they are in distress, the phone will sound an automatic alarm. A smartwatch app which automatically sounds an alarm and alerts close contacts when it senses the user is in distress is being trialled. Mr Rahman said “If someone is attacked, in that moment suddenly their motion goes from being very regular to not being regular at all, quite erratic, if they go to the ground, if they are trying to fight someone off, and it will detect that change. Do you think there is health issue linked to the app?
