> I wonder if society will expect companies to be more proactive in contacting the user and emergency authorities. I'm suprised this isn't already a thing, at least on overpriced specialty devices.

They seem to be okay with a pretty high false positive rate. As you move into less at risk populations, your tolerance for false positives will go down though.
