Hi All,
As I walked alone along the hallway between the elevator and our condo, I suddenly felt woosy. My next recollection was sitting on the concrete floor in a puddle of blood. There was so much blood, I thought it was a bad dream.
After a few minutes I shakily walked to our condo. Soon there was a pounding on the door and in came three Dunedin firefighters followed quickly by the ambulance medics.
Who called you? I said bewildered.
"Your watch" was their reply!
My Apple Watch had detected my fall and asked me if I needed help. Since I was still unconscious and didn't reply, the watch called 911, said I was unresponsive after a fall detection and gave them my location .
This was not a life threatening situation but it might have been. Food for thought next time you are shopping for a watch/smartphone.
Love,
Carl
Oh, I'm OK. I passed out due to dehydration and the resulting scalp laceration was closed with four staples. After twenty four hours of hospital observation I am home, aching but otherwise OK
