Doctors found Houle's heart, liver, and kidneys shutting down, all because of a muscle injury that was releasing protein into his blood stream.
    
Houle is still recovering from the ordeal. He said that if wasn't for his Apple Watch, the problem would have gone untreated and could have killed him.
