Once again, the Apple Watch managed to save a life, with its 25-year-old owner Brandon Schneider suffering from a serious fall after complaining of severe abdominal pain for a few days.
Schneider’s Doctor Says He Was ‘Incredibly Lucky’ and Expects the Apple Watch Owner to Make a Full Recovery
Schneider earlier collapsed in an emergency room bathroom last month after suffering abdominal pain and a misdiagnosed kidney stone.
Later, CT scans revealed that Schneider had a fractured skull and multiple hematomas that were growing in size. Doctors immediately operated on the Apple Watch owner, and after four days, he gained consciousness. After he recovered, he advises people who already own an Apple Watch to set up emergency contacts so they may be notified in case an emergency takes place.
Though Schneider partakes in regular exercise, incidents like this can happen to the fittest among us, and as you read from the story, that is exactly what happened. Kudos to Apple for bringing in the Fall Detection feature when the company introduced the Apple Watch Series 4.
This is probably not the last time we will hear about an Apple Watch serving as an electronic guardian angel to a wearer.
