Google Pixel Watch 3 Unveiled: Revolutionary Life-Saving Pulse Detection Feature Stands Out
In brief:
New Delhi: Google has introduced the Pixel Watch 3, a significant leap for Android smartwatches, with a new life-saving feature: Loss of Pulse Detection. This feature sets the Pixel Watch 3 apart from its competitors, bringing it closer to the health capabilities of the Apple Watch.
What is Loss of Pulse?
Loss of pulse, also known as cardiac arrest, occurs when the heart stops beating suddenly. This life-threatening emergency requires immediate attention, as survival chances decrease rapidly without quick intervention. Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, and often, there’s no one around to call for help.
How Google’s Pixel Watch 3 Detects Loss of Pulse
The Pixel Watch 3 continuously monitors the user’s heart rate through advanced sensors. If a loss of pulse is detected, the watch performs additional checks using infrared and red lights, combined with motion sensors. An AI-powered algorithm processes these signals to confirm if the user’s pulse has stopped.
If the watch detects no pulse and the user doesn’t respond to its prompts, it will sound an alarm and start a countdown. If there’s still no response, the watch will automatically call emergency services, providing the user’s location and notifying them of the situation.
Collaboration and Testing
Google developed this feature in collaboration with cardiologists and emergency medical professionals, ensuring its effectiveness. The AI algorithm was rigorously tested using real-life scenarios to ensure it performs accurately in critical moments.
Availability
Loss of Pulse Detection will roll out on the Pixel Watch 3 in September, starting in European countries like the UK, France, and Sweden, with plans to expand further. Along with other features like Fall Detection and Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications, Google is positioning the Pixel Watch 3 as a vital tool for health and safety.
