The Apple Watch saved a new life. A woman collapsed alone in her hotel room due to a ruptured aorta following an aneurysm. His connected watch contacted the emergency services just before the situation took a dramatic turn.
Over the generations of the connected watch, the Apple Watch regularly proves its ability to save lives. Just a few months ago, a user who suffered severe internal bleeding nearly died without realizing it if he hadn’t had the Apple Watch on his wrist. This time, Apple Watch saved a woman’s life who collapsed alone in a hotel room.
The Apple Watch is equipped with different features to monitor the health of its users. His blood oxygen sensor, for example, saved the life of a teenager suffering from pulmonary edema while skiing. As far as the woman alone in her hotel room is concerned, it is fall detection functionality which saved his life.
His mother was able to be transported very quickly to the hospital thanks to her Apple Watch
On Reddit, user “@xanderpy” shared how the Apple Watch helped save his mother’s life in the United States. The latter was on a business trip and was staying in a hotel. She suddenly felt chest pain and texted her friend asking her to come to her room. Her friend was in a different room in the same hotel. As @xanderpy clarified, this was not an urgent message.
The mother then collapsed, face first on the ground. Her friend discovered her in this state and immediately called 911. The paramedics then notified her. that an ambulance was already on the way. « Turns out my mom had a ruptured aorta and the situation was so bad it took an incredible succession of circumstances for her to recover, including the incredibly fast transport to the hospital “, explains the Internet user.
A few days later, when his mother recovered, the Internet user learned that she had not had time to dial 911 before falling to the ground. He then discovered that the Apple Watch on his mother’s wrist had contacted the emergency services long before the friend arrives in the room. The ambulance therefore gained a few precious and probably crucial minutes in this situation.
In fact, the Apple Watch detected that the fall was serious. She emitted a vibration and an alarm bell, but the mother was already unconscious. If the connected watch does not detect motion for about a minute after the alarmit automatically calls the emergency services.
