Apple Watch fall detection saves a cyclist's life

Apple Watch every

Not many days ago that we shared with you the case of a Apple Watch user that thanks to the watch he detected an abnormal heart rate and could be treated in a hospital. Today we want to share with you another of these Apple Watch stories in which we can affirm that it saved his life to your user.

William Bout's accident is something that can happen to anyone and is that he was run over by a car that after the event He did not stop to help him and fled. The cyclist was left unconscious on the ground and his Apple Watch was in charge of alerting the emergency services to help him.

The fall detector worked perfectly

And is that thanks to this Bout sensor, he received the attention of the emergency services without him having to make any touch on the clock or anything, when detecting the fall, he called the emergency department automatically They were able to treat him and take him to the hospital where he is healing from his wounds. Apple Watch Series 4 onwards have this function, the rest of previous models do not.

If you indicated your age to configure the Apple Watch or in the Health app of your iPhone and you are 65 years old or older, this function is activated automatically but for the rest it has to be activated manually if we want. Verify that your correct age appears in your medical data and in your health profile in order to activate it and remember that if you practice physical activity, the sensor may detect falls with less precision. In any case it is a really interesting function.
