A MUM'S Apple watch helped detect her toddler's leukaemia after it picked up her "racing" heart rate.
Rebecca Martin rushed daughter Florence to the doctor after the smartwatch reported her heart was beating at over 100bpm on January 22.
The three-year-old had been suffering from a month-long cold that wouldn't clear up, raising her mum's suspicions.
Four days later she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of leukaemia at Glasgow's Royal Hospital for Sick Children.
Mum Rebecca, 30, told the Record: "Florence never really recovered from a cold she got in December. Me and my husband were lying in bed with her and we thought we could feel her heart beating really fast.
"I knew my Apple watch would give a reading so I put it on her and it said her heartbeat was over 100. She had spent the day on the couch so it didn't make sense for it to be so high.
