911 Operator Gets Shocking Call From an Apple Watch

A man involved in a severe car crash late at night was saved after becoming unconscious, all thanks to a remarkable piece of technology: the Apple Watch.

APPLE WATCH ALERTS AUTHORITIES

When the owner of the watch was involved in a severe car crash, the device automatically dialed 911, alerting authorities, despite the victim's unresponsiveness.

“The owner of this Apple Watch was in a severe car crash and is not responding to their watch,” the automated message from the Apple Watch transmits to a 911 operator.

This automated distress signal provided critical information to responders, allowing them to locate the vehicle within minutes. Despite the lack of direct communication, the notification from the Apple Watch led to the discovery of the driver, who had managed to exit the vehicle but required urgent medical attention.

QUICK INTERVENTION HELPS AID INJURED DRIVER

Quick intervention facilitated by the watch's alert system ensured the driver's swift assessment, stabilization, and transportation to the hospital, where a full recovery is expected.

 The Apple Watch's ability to detect severe crashes and automatically call for help, reveals real-life scenarios and the benefits of technological innovation. It serves as a powerful reminder of how typical everyday devices can become invaluable tools in critical moments, potentially saving lives.
