With the advent of the fourth generation Apple Watch se has received many enthusiastic responses highlighting their functionality. Even the president of the American Heart Association, Dr. Ivor Benjamin, is not hiding his enthusiasm for this product. He described it as a potential way to save lives when its user cannot call for help himself. This statement was followed by a volley of praise from the rescuers themselves, who have a deeper insight into the whole issue than the average mortal, and therefore their positive assessment is for Apple great satisfaction. One of them was rescue worker Rich Mogull, who captured his perspective on the matter in an article on the Tidbits portal.

While the EKG sensor has caught most of the attention of rescuers, Rich Mogull is particularly excited about the fall detection technology."One of the most common cases for rescuers is a slip or fall. I have responded to this case countless times in my career. However, in the case of elderly people, the consequences can be completely fatal, even with quick first aid. Very often the head is injured, unfortunately quite seriously. However, hip fractures are even more common, followed by a difficult recovery." the paramedic described his experience with the fact that, thanks to fall detection, it will be much easier to call for help in these cases.

He says he's aware of some "limitations" that cost, battery life and complexity can be considered for a given demographic (such as the elderly with dementia), but none of those issues will change his belief in its ability to save lives. Apple Watch According to him, 4 are an excellent tool for monitoring a person's health, both in terms of falls and in terms of monitoring their heart activity. Even if the measurement is not accurate, the output will still show even distorted but useful data. Another highlight that Rich talked about was the aforementioned EKG sensor. It can detect a heart attack early and reliably. The paramedic is also clear about false alarms. He would rather come to a person unnecessarily than not to get help to a person just because he does not have the opportunity to call about it.

It is not clear at the moment when we will be able to use the functions of the ECG sensor in our country as well. It could take years, or Apple will come up with a solution that will bring this sensation as soon as possible. Everything depends primarily on legislation and lengthy approval processes, which stand in EKG's way so far.
