Apple Watch helped save this woman

This 71-year-old woman fell badly. And the Apple Watch took action by detecting the sharp drop and calling 911 and Raylene’s son on its own. Joshua Stevens was one of the paramedics who responded by saying that a distress call from a watch was something quite unique.

“It sends geolocation, latitude and longitude, so I’d say it’s a pretty useful feature,” Stevens said.

When emergencies come, They found Raylene “nearly unconscious and badly beaten”. He was transferred to a local hospital where doctors were present. “They discovered a cancerous mass in their lungs”.
