The Apple Watch has already saved many people around the world, notably with its fall detection functions. The last anecdote changes a little, since it was from carbon monoxide poisoning that a person could have been rescued in time. A student from Delaware suddenly felt very tired, her vision started to become blurry and she had the good instinct to activate an emergency call just before passing out. This reflex certainly saved her life, since help arrived in time to revive her and supply her lungs with oxygen.
You can call emergencies from this watchOS screen, or hold your finger on the side button to make the call automatically without having to interact with the watch (image watchGeneration).
The opportunity to remember that the Apple Watch can call the emergency services by holding the side button (the one placed under the digital crown) pressed for a few seconds. Even if you are unable to respond, emergency services should automatically receive your location and can respond. If this doesn’t work, check that the feature is active in the Watch app settings on the associated iPhone.
It is also an opportunity to remember that carbon monoxide is a transparent, odorless and extremely harmful gas. The student in question did not have a monoxide detector, which would have sounded well before reaching dangerous levels. Basic models cost less than 20 € and there are also connected versions, including a Netatmo product which is HomeKit compatible.
