Another impressive story around the Apple Watch has been added from Ottawa, Canada. The Apple Watch fall detection function helped to save the life of an 85-year old man in Ottawa, Canada after a fall. The man became unconscious after the fall, but thanks to the Apple Watch he was wearing, the Police were able to rescue him. The details were provided by the Ottawa Police Department via their official Instagram handle.

The story adds to a growing list of incidents where this life-saving feature has led to the sustenance of human life from imminent death. The incident happened on the evening of November 28, 2021, at the residence of the man who was reported to be living alone. The fall knocked the man unconscious and he sustained a head injury. Impressively, and fortunately, the man’s Apple Watch detected the fall and after a minute, called emergency services via 911.

An Ottawa Police Communicator received the automated message and took immediate action by dispatching the police to the man’s location. In the background during the emergency call, the communicator could hear the man’s breathing and his dog barking continuously.

Two Ottawa police constables arrived shortly after at the man’s residence and provided first-aid services in putting a bandage over the injured region of the man’s head. The man’s daughter was then notified by the police. He was subsequently taken to a medical facility, and it is believed that he will make a full recovery and could be discharged before the end-of-year holidays.

The Apple Watch, with these stories, is a life-saver via the fall detection feature. There are other impressive features in the Apple smart wearable, and these will continue to endear it to a growing number of consumers. The Apple Watch is reliable health, fitness, and life-saving smart wearable.
