Reddit user xanderpy reports that the Apple Watch saved his mother's life. Mr. xanderpy's mother began to feel pain in her chest while staying at a hotel on a business trip. At that time, the mother sent an e-mail to a friend who was staying at the same hotel and asked her to come to her room.
A few minutes later, a friend who came to the room discovered that xanderpy's mother had fallen, and at the same time discovered that 911 had already been called emergency. It seems that xanderpy's mother had a ruptured aorta at this point, so it was necessary to respond quickly, but he seems to have saved his life because the emergency call was early and the transportation to the hospital was done quickly. .
A few days after her mother woke up from surgery, xanderpy asked her mother, 'Did you call 911 before you fell down?' In other words, it became clear that it was the Apple Watch's fall detection function that called 911 instead of the mother herself.
``When I saw this kind of story, I sometimes wondered if it was exaggerated for publicity, or if it was a hoax, but I don't think so anymore.'' ``Technology It taught me that can save lives, ”he said, thanking Apple Watch.
In addition, Apple-related media Appleinsider said, ``Apple Watch Series 4 and later Apple Watch has a heart rate detection function such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) app , but Apple has confirmed that these functions cannot detect a heart attack. It is clear, ”he emphasized that the fall detection function, not the heart rate measurement function, saved lives.
