Google activated Pixel Watch feature that could save your life. The smartwatch is equipped with a loss of heart rate detector that detects if the heart suddenly stops beating due to a cardiac, respiratory or other problem. If this happens to you, Pixel Watch will alert emergency services to help you.
The tech giant has announced that pulseless detection will be available in Spain from today. This feature was revealed a few months ago during the Pixel Watch 3 presentation with the promise that it would arrive in Europe in September. New feature detects whether your heart has stopped beating and sends a warning message to emergency services including your location.
The new Pixel Watch feature is similar to what we see on the Apple Watch when an accident occurs while the device will try to find out if the user is conscious before sending an alert. The advantage of the Google watch is that it is the first to offer the ability to detect the absence of a pulse. While the Apple Watch can detect irregular rhythms, it cannot detect a heart attack.
How does the Pixel Watch 3 heart rate detector work?
Pulse Loss Detection is an additional feature of the Pixel Watch 3 that uses signals from sensors, artificial intelligence and processing algorithms Observe for sudden loss of pulse.
According to Google, the system is based on a heart rate sensor as the first identifier. If there is no pulse, infrared lamps are activated to detect additional signs, and a motion sensor checks to see if the person is moving. This data is processed using an artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes the signals and acts accordingly if it detects a heartbeat event.

When this happens a message will be sent to the user asking if everything is ok. If you do not answer or do not move, the system will beep with accountant who sends an alert to number 112 as soon as it reaches zero. The distress message indicates the location of the victim so that emergency services can arrive as quickly as possible.
According to Google engineers, AI played a major role in the development of this feature.. Because pulse loss events are infrequent, the team relied on data from cardiologists to train their algorithm. They subsequently turned to stunt doubles to test detection, since these actors can artificially cause the event.
He pulse absence detector will be available in Spain from today for Pixel Watch 3 owners. The feature is optional and can be activated in the watch settings. It is worth noting that this feature works over LTE or from a mobile phone to make an emergency call.
