Yup
My previous phone used to pocket-dial the emergency services annoyingly often, and it’s very not fun getting called back by the police to discuss why you’re dialling and hanging up on emergency services multiple times over.
This automatic emergency call is fine, but they really do need to minimise the number of false positives, which it looks like they’ve taken good steps towards.
I had the same issue with my old Galaxy s7. Let me tell you, seeing “911” on your caller ID when youve been smoking all evening is not a fun experience.
I wonder how many false positives will happen.
In the however many years of crash detection with Pixels I’ve had a single false positive, and that was when I was biking over some very rough gravel and suddenly hit brakes. It was also very obvious and was easy to stop before it called the emergency services.
What I would like is something that can take a look at blood pressure. Or heart health.
Pretty sure current tech is difficult to get blood pressure from a watch. The results vary a lot depending on how firmly the watch is against the skin and where in the wrist it’s registering. It also needs to be calibrated using a normal cuff.
If your pulse stops, is it even possible to be revived in the amount of time it takes for emergency workers to respond?
And if so, how screwed up is that survivor?
Yeah but that’s the difference between finding dad on Monday or on sunday when you go to see him.
