Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 190

"Fifty new cases doctor, most of which would have been unidentifiable until a month later."

In a bustling hospital ward, Dr. Jensen froze mid-stride.

"Fifty?" he repeated.

"Yes sir," the nurse said, holding a tablet. "All flagged within the last twelve hours. Mostly silent arrhythmias, early hypertension spikes, two possible pre-stroke indicators… all from patients wearing the VitaBand."

Jensen exhaled, long and slow.

This… was ridiculous.

"Show me."

The nurse handed over the tablet and Jensen scrolled through the logs. The data was clean, precise, and every alert had the same tiny signature at the bottom:

VitaBand – Early Warning Detected.

Jensen pinched the bridge of his nose.

"We would've missed all of these," he muttered.

"Yes sir," the nurse agreed. "The patients didn't even know they had issues. One of them came in for a sprained wrist."

They both looked toward the waiting area, where a woman sat nervously, still wearing her VitaBand. Her wrist was bandaged, but the device quietly blinked green.

The vitals on the screen showed a problem in her blood pressure pattern—something even she didn't know.

"Call cardiology," Jensen said. "She needs a full exam. And get neurology to check the two flagged stroke cases."

As the nurse hurried off, Jensen let out a breath.

This little wristband… In just a few days that the device had been launched, it was keeping a whole lot of hospitals busy, and it wasn't just hospitals.

Across the city,

A middle-aged father was sitting at the breakfast table when his VitaBand suddenly buzzed.

[WARNING: Heart Rhythm Abnormality Detected.

Seek medical attention.]

He blinked.

"Sarah?" he called out to his wife.

She appeared from the kitchen, confused.

"What's wrong?"

"This thing is saying I need a doctor."

They both stared at the band.

He didn't feel sick. Just a bit tired, maybe, probably bit stressed from work. It was nothing unusual.

But an hour later at the clinic, the doctor frowned at the scan in his hand.

"Sir… this caught early-stage atrial fibrillation."

"…What?"

"When the top chambers of your heart start beating out of rhythm" the doctor explained "like they're shaking instead of squeezing properly."

"You're lucky," he continued, "unchecked, this would've led to a major stroke in a few months, possibly sooner."

His wife squeezed his hand, trembling.

The man stared at his VitaBand and swallowed hard.

"...Thank you."

***

On a college campus,

A girl jogging paused when her VitaBand vibrated twice.

[Glucose Level Dangerously Low.]

She was confused at first. She wasn't diabetic, but the band kept warning her.

She went to the campus clinic just out of caution, she walked out pale-faced an hour later.

Early diabetes, the watch had caught it before symptoms even appeared.

Her doctor told her the Vitaband might have saved her from collapsing alone on a jogging trail.

Back at Caldwell Hospital,

Gabriel Caldwell stood in the observation room, staring at a board filled with names, alerts, recovered patients, and pre-stroke prevention cases.

Every single one had the same device listed under the 'intervention' column.

The Vitaband.

"People online are even calling it the MiracleBand," a nurse behind him informed.

"MiracleBand?" He repeated with a chuckle, "sounds like some kind of drug that gets you high."

The nurse aslo chuckled as they continued looking at the board, new solved cases that were only discovered thanks to Vitaband kept coming in by the second.

"OmniTech really did fulfill their promise," Gabriel said with a small smile on his face,

"they really delivered something that works."

He shook his head, half-amused and completely astonished.

"When we partnered with them, I expected… well, I didn't know what I expected, a decent tracker? Maybe a fancy fitness band with a few medical features?" he said, "but it definitely wasn't this."

"At this rate," he took a small pause, "it feels like cheating."
