The Apple Watch is proving itself to be a useful tool for monitoring serious medical conditions, and not just for fitness.
A mobile health app made by start-up Cardiogram, backed by Silicon Valley venture firms including Andreessen Horowitz, has proven to be shockingly popular among the people who download it, the company's co-founder Brandon Ballinger told CNBC.
