Apple Watch saves lives again!

You may have come across life-saving stories about Apple Watch that have emerged before. Something similar happened this time. A Texas woman, who is now doing well, says she fell, hit her head on the nightstand, and fainted because she slipped in her hotel room. So what did the device do to save the woman’s life?

Apple Watch continues to save lives with Fall Detection

Mrs. Belle Christianson, a Texas woman, says she has been using an Apple Watch for years. But even though he has the model he is using now for 1 year, he activated the Fall Detection feature last Thanksgiving. He states that if this feature wasn’t there, he might not be here right now.

Christianson describes his accident and the events that followed in the following words:

I lost my balance, tripped, and then fell facedown, hitting the nightstand in the hotel room. I’m completely blown away. So I couldn’t move for more than a minute. But what really mattered was my Apple Watch. He immediately called 911.

I’ve had this device for about a year. But I had just set up fall detection on Thanksgiving. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t. Everyone who has an Apple Watch should activate this feature.

Apple Watch has saved lives before!

It’s not the first time that the Apple Watch has saved a human life. He also saved the life of a man who fell on the ice in March last year. Before the hypothermia started, he had used the Emergency SOS feature on his Apple Watch to get emergency services to the scene on time.

The same Fall Detection feature that subsequently saved Bayla in July helped a 78-year-old man survive a life-threatening fall. Also, since the guy is over 65, this feature was on by default at his watch.

Fall Detection and Emergency SOS are not the only protagonists of these success stories. Last year, a heart rate monitor saved a woman from an atherosclerosis that had an 88 percent chance of killing her. The woman didn’t realize her heart rate was 169 until her Apple Watch alarm went off. It was then revealed that he had had a silent heart attack and had a complete blockage in one of his arteries. He was able to fully recover after the operation.

A month later, another man fell and broke his skull, seriously injuring himself. Because of this, a hematoma formed in his brain. But the smartwatch saved his life by calling for help in time. He was said to be in good condition after a lengthy brain surgery.

There are even cases where Apple Watch saves a person multiple times. For example, Dan Pfau, now 70, died at the age of 68 after an accident on his bicycle. Last year, he fainted and hit his head on a hard floor. But both times, the Fall Detection feature was able to call emergency assistance in a timely manner. The most recent case on the subject was, until last month, when a British cyclist was hit by a car and the Apple Watch was the first person to call the ambulance.

But in December, Michael Reilly announced that he went to the cardiologist and learned that 3 vessels in his heart were blocked, thanks to the warning of the “Irregular rhythm notifications feature”, which occasionally reports the heartbeat of users to check whether the Apple Watch has irregular rhythms that may mean atrial fibrillation.

Reilly stated that he is on a low-carb diet, consumes olive oil, does weight training 5 times a week, and is very fit and healthy.
