Apple watch fall detector saves an epileptic

Apple Watch saves the life of a new user again. And there are already a few. Kate Donald, suffered a serious epileptic seizure when she was home alone. He fell to the ground without being able to sit up, suffering seizures, and the fall detector that he had activated in his Apple Watch alerted the emergencies.

Before Mrs. Donald will fall asleep, had a severe seizure that caused her to collapse to the ground. Luckily, I was carrying an Apple Watch with the fall detection system activated. Automatically the clock notified Emergency SOS and her husband.

Kate explained that she bought the Apple Watch a year ago when she was pregnant and suffered from frequent seizures:

«Knowing that in the Apple Watch The fall detector had been implemented, I did not hesitate to buy it, since when I was pregnant I had very frequent epileptic seizures, and I fell every two by three. When I fell to the ground and with convulsions, I was unable to touch the clock. Luckily the Apple Watch alerted my husband Ben, and he immediately called a neighbor who quickly entered my house and found me in full attack. Quickly called an ambulance, and they told him that he was on his way, since they had received the Apple Watch alert«.

fall detection on Apple Watch series 4

Fall detection was implemented on the Apple Watch Series 4 last year. If the watch detects a severe drop, a one minute counter is activated. If no movement is detected in that minute, call the emergency services in your region, and send an SMS to your emergency contacts, including your current location.

As standard, fall detection is disabled for people under 65 years of age. It is important for young people at risk of falls to activate this function.
