Jessie Malone was feeling nauseated after dog-sitting for a friend, so she figured she'd go home for a nap. That's when an alarm on her Apple Watch began blaring. "It was saying you need to seek medical attention immediately," Malone told us. "I was like, 'Oh my God.'"

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
Tracy Dixon-Salazar's daughter Savannah began experiencing hundreds of seizures a day as a child due to epilepsy, but doctors didn't know why, she told us. Dixon-Salazar was so frustrated, she returned to school and earned a Ph.D. in neurobiology. Armed with her knowledge, she discovered an issue with her daughter's calcium that led a 95% reduction in seizures thanks to a change in her medication.
