Breathing Emergency Detection, now on Pixel Watch
Google introduced Breathing Emergency Detection for Pixel Watch, an opt-in feature that recognizes dangerously low blood oxygen levels. It automatically calls emergency services and contacts if the user becomes unresponsive.
Why it matters
This can save lives by ensuring help is summoned when a person is alone and unable to call for assistance during a breathing emergency.
The details
- Available on Pixel Watch 4 and 5 in selected European countries.
- Uses heart rate, motion, and altitude sensors to detect respiratory emergencies.
- Includes a phased escalation with haptic vibrations and a 30-second countdown.
