Google Pixel Watch 3 Revealed
New Delhi: Google has launched the Pixel Watch 3, marking a significant advancement for Android smartwatches, particularly with its new life-saving feature: Loss of Pulse Detection. This feature distinguishes the Pixel Watch 3 from its competitors, aligning it more closely with the health capabilities of the Apple Watch.
Understanding Loss of Pulse Loss of pulse, or cardiac arrest, occurs when the heart suddenly stops beating. This critical emergency demands immediate intervention, as survival rates plummet without prompt action. Cardiac arrest can strike anyone, often with no one nearby to call for help.
How the Pixel Watch 3 Detects Loss of Pulse The Pixel Watch 3 continuously tracks the user’s heart rate through sophisticated sensors. If a loss of pulse is suspected, the watch performs additional checks using infrared and red lights, combined with motion sensors. An AI-driven algorithm processes these signals to confirm if the user’s pulse has stopped.
In the event of a detected pulse loss and no user response, the watch will trigger an alarm and initiate a countdown. If the user still doesn’t respond, the watch will automatically contact emergency services, providing the user’s location and details of the situation.
Development and Testing This feature was developed in collaboration with cardiologists and emergency medical professionals to ensure its reliability. The AI algorithm underwent extensive testing with real-life scenarios to verify its accuracy during critical moments.
Availability Loss of Pulse Detection will be available on the Pixel Watch 3 starting in September, initially launching in European countries like the UK, France, and Sweden, with plans for broader expansion. Coupled with other features such as Fall Detection and Irregular Heart Rhythm Notifications, Google is positioning the Pixel Watch 3 as an essential tool for health and safety.
