Apple Watch Automatically Calls 911 To Save This Man's Life

The Apple Watch is a device that has often been credited with saving its users? According to a report in 9to5Mac, the Hermosa Beach police in Los Angeles County, California were alerted about a crash in the middle of the night after an Apple Watch notified the emergency services. The fall detection feature on the Apple Watch, that was last year updated to include falls during workouts including cycling, alerted the emergency services who took the user to get immediate medical help, something that would have been unlikely without an Apple Watch on his wrist, unfortunately. So the Apple Watch calls emergency services after 60 seconds of detecting a fall, unless the user marks themselves okay. However, if the user passes out due to the fall, the Apple Watch will make a call to 911 automatically to notify first responders that the user has taken a fall.
