\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct. An app that records time awake, time asleep and oxygen levels helps identify patterns in a person’s sleep which can be used for further medical assessment.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect. The app does not diagnose cardiovascular disease although it may indicate irregularities that require professional follow-up.
  • C is incorrect. Minimally invasive surgery is part of precision surgery, not health monitoring via apps.
  • D is incorrect. Sleep apps do not replace medical imaging, rather they collect lifestyle data.
