Google’s latest smartwatch, Pixel Watch 3, just turned into one of the best things money can buy you in the States! The AI-powered device was launched in 2024, but its most valuable feature, Loss of Pulse Detection, didn’t get approved by the FDA in America until few weeks ago. And the life-saving capability only just rolled out to all Pixel Watch 3 users in the U.S.
The reason it’s one of the best things money can buy right now, is that it can, indeed, save your life or the life of someone you love. Is there anything more precious than that?
What is ‘Loss of Pulse’ Detection
‘Loss of pulse’ is a health emergency, occurring when the heart suddenly stops beating… And if that happens, acting immediately is, naturally, key to survival!
Loss of pulse detection is a revolutionary, opt-in feature on Pixel Watch 3, requiring preliminary activation. What’s brilliant about it, is that it makes an automated call to a local emergency number if the heart of the user stops beating for over 20 seconds.
Why does ‘Loss of Pulse’ occur
- Cardiac arrest
- Respiratory failure
- Poisoning
- Drug overdose
