A US student’s life was saved thanks to a feature on her Apple Watch, which automatically dialed emergency services after she collapsed from exposure to a deadly gas. The incident occurred when the woman, identified as Nasatka, felt exhausted even after having breakfast and decided to take a nap. However, upon waking up, she felt extremely weak, dizzy, and disoriented. Realizing something was wrong, Nasatka held down the side button on her Apple Watch, triggering a 911 call. She informed emergency dispatch that she suspected carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and was too weak to leave her apartment. Emergency services and firefighters arrived promptly, rushing her to a nearby hospital. Nasatka received attentive care in the emergency room for 24 hours before being discharged. The source of the gas leak was determined to be a malfunctioning heater. Nasatka didn’t have a carbon monoxide detector in her apartment at the time. This incident underscores the life-saving potential of wearable technology and serves as a reminder of the importance of having carbon monoxide detectors in homes.
