The Apple Watch has many features designed to track and monitor your health. One feature is fall detection, which is actually credited with saving the life of an 85-year-old man in Canada.
According to an Instagram post from the Ottawa Police Department, which AppleInsider saw for the first time, a man suffered a severe fall that knocked him unconscious and left him with a head injury. The Apple Watch detected the fall and called 911 on his behalf, ultimately saving his life.
Police arrived on the scene and bandaged the man’s wounds before paramedics arrived to take the fall victim to hospital. It seems that the man will make a full recovery from his injuries.
It’s always been clear that fall detection on the Apple Watch would save lives at some point, and it’s comforting to know that the feature did exactly what it was designed to do, keeping an older man alive when he might not be. emergency services on your own.
This isn’t the first time the Apple Watch has saved a life, with some users claiming that the heart rate features saved them from a heart attack. Hopefully not the last. If you have an Apple Watch, be sure to turn on features like fall detection, as they could save your life.
