We continue to see news of the versions of iOS 13.5 and watchOS 6.2.5 beta that will soon arrive definitively to our devices. A piece of news in 9To5Mac explains that there is quite an important novelty regarding the call to emergency services. Remember that the iPhone and Apple Watch already allow several options to call emergency services easily and quickly, but now also personal data could be sent of the person directly.
The sending of data would be done automatically and in this way a function that we currently have available would be expanded and that allows us to see on the iPhone screen -pressing the power button and the volume button for a few seconds- the personal data that each one has added in "Medical data" and that in the case of the Apple Watch is done by pressing the physical button. These data are some and then we have the option SOS emergency that this is the one that would integrate the data in the form of a message to our doctor or emergency services if necessary.
When we are in a dangerous situation, have all the user's medical information can be vital to save your life and if he makes an emergency call and the health data entered by the user himself is automatically sent, there are more options to see the seriousness of the situation. This is obviously linked to many other external factors that will be different in each case, but automatically knowing the patient's pathologies or data such as our date of birth, medical ailments, allergies or reactions, medications, blood type, etc. they can be of great use.
We will see this possibly in the next version of iOS 13.5 and also of watchOS 6.2.5 but obviously the user will be in charge of accepting or not have this data sent automatically when making an emergency call.
