One of the more novel health features Apple added to the Apple Watch in recent years is "fall detection." Apple originally introduced the feature on the Apple Watch Series 4 back in 2018. As the name suggests, the feature is designed to automatically call 911 when it detects a hard fall. A call will be triggered when the wearer remains immobile for 45 seconds.
Since its debut, we've seen several stories involving the feature being used to save lives. The most recent story comes to us out of Summerfield, North Carolina, and was recently brought to light by Fox8 News.
