Your heart rate at gunpoint

That's... brilliant. You could do all sorts of things to protect the user's data while preserving the fiction that the device is unlocked and functioning as all you need to do is fake it for a few minutes to fool the mugger. After all, they don't stick around.

You could force the device to self-wipe data storage after X minutes or force specific apps to 'crash' on open (email, 2FA apps, banking, etc.) where even offline access could be detrimental.

Oops. Kind of blew right past that rather useful feature. Dial 911 and leave the microphone on, though it could lead to problems for the system in tracking down false alarms.

Don't forget turning on both of the cameras and streaming the video to 911.
