how to use heart rate sensor when app is closed and send an alert/notification when heart rare is high
@varun_aaruru You won’t be able to receive a realtime heart rate notification for a closed app in watchOS 3. However, there is a workaround! You can periodically run a WKApplicationRefreshBackgroundTask to check the heart rate data stored in HealthKit. If the user has your app installed as a complication on their current clock face, then you can perform the background check at least 50 times a day.
