Hero clock. Understand this incredible story.
If you don't already have a smartwatch, you should know that it can not only provide you with health information, such as blood pressure or oxygen levels, but it can also save your life. A similar case recently occurred in a European country.
After falling, a man was saved by an Apple Watch and was able to call 911 from his smartwatch. An insurance agent was involved in an accident near Bergen, Norway, while on his usual morning run. The watch was essential in helping him save and treat him. He was unable to use his phone due to pain and injuries, including a collapsed lung and fractured ribs, and was invisible to passing cars despite being on a busy street. Read on to learn more about his story.
Man is saved
Insurance planner Robert Neese (59) ran in Bergen, Norway, as usual on the 21st. Robert told a Norwegian news outlet that he was on vacation and decided to run faster than usual. However, shortly after the start of the race, around 7 am, the man lost his balance and fell chest first into a wall. The accident broke several ribs and caused a major lung injury. Robert, who had previously suffered a collapsed lung, knew he needed to acknowledge the pain and call 911 quickly.
However, the insurance agent was unable to access your iPhone due to injuries. Since Robert had an Apple Watch, he decided to wait for the watch to detect a fall. The electronic device can recognize when the user has fallen and immediately trigger an alarm. It can be activated by a human, but if the person is unwell, the watch can automatically call emergency services after a minute.
Using his Apple smartwatch, Roberts used AirPods, which he uses to listen to podcasts while running, so he could call 911 and let them know where he was. It took about 15 minutes for first responders to arrive on the scene. More than 100 cars passed Robert in the time it took for help to arrive, but no one stopped because he was out of sight.
Other cases
The insurance agent’s case is not the first on the list of people saved thanks to smartwatches. In late April, pregnant Rebecca McManus was alerted by her smartwatch that she was having trouble breathing. Because of this, she was tested and was found to have a pulmonary embolism, a condition that can lead to strokes and heart attacks. At the time, McManus told the media that she would not have realized the danger she was in if it were not for the smartwatch. Apple Watch. “He saved my life,” the mother said.
Indian teenager Smith Nileshi was also saved thanks to his smartwatch. After falling 150 meters into the water, Smith became invisible to his three friends. The young man did not have a cell phone, so he could not call or tell anyone where he was. The 17-year-old used his smartwatch to communicate with family and friends. This allowed him to let them know where he was and was quickly rescued.
