I would expect seniors to be a sizable portion of Apple Watches. Being FDA approved for tracking health would be a huge draw for this audience.
Watch Apple implement a subscription service to call emergency contacts in the event of a health event detected by the Watch.
- waterphone 8y agoIt does this by default without a subscription service in the event of a detected fall if you do not respond to an alert within a certain amount of time. Hope nobody falls on their watch and are uninjured but break the touch sensor, preventing them from being able to cancel the 911 call…
- jdminhbg 8y agoI would imagine you could press the digital crown to cancel as well.
- macintux 8y agoIt only calls 911 if it detects no movement after a fall, so it would have to be the motion sensors in the device that completely fail, not a touch sensor.
- waterphone 8y agoI was referring to the failure of whatever mechanism would be used to cancel an alert that appears post-fall.
- macintux 8y agoMy point is that there is no immediate need to cancel anything if you are moving.
