Recently, a Reddit user shared an incredible story on how the device saved her mother's life. The user added that her mother was on a business trip in Florida's Fort Lauderdale while temporarily residing at a hotel when she experienced pain in the chest. She texted a friend who was in the same hotel to come to her room, and ''collapsed to the floor face first'' soon after.
“A couple minutes later, her friend came to her room, found her collapsed on the ground and called 911. When doing this, they stated an ambulance was already on the way. Turns out my mom had a ruptured aorta and the situation was so bad that it took an insane set of circumstances for her to make it through, including the incredibly fast transport to the hospital”, stated Reddit user.
“Fast forward to a few days later when she awoke from surgery (plus a couple days since she was on feeding/breathing tubes at first) and we asked if she called 911 before she collapsed. She did not. We found out that her watch actually called 911 after the fall and not detecting movement,” added the person who shared a miracle story.
“Apple technology has a firm grip on me and my entire family already but this... this was something else. This made me an Apple user for life and showed me that technology like this can truly save lives,” user thanked Apple through post.
The post has over 1.1 K likes and several comments.

Netizens reacted differently to the post. “I tripped and fell face first onto the floor last week. After a pause, I got up, and my watch was beeping and vibrating, asking me if I'd fallen, and if I was okay. Shit works,” one user wrote. “Wow! So awesome. My Wife felt strange one night and her Apple Watch warned her she was having heart issues. We went straight to the ER and found out she has Afib. The Doctor said her Apple Watch might have saved her life,” another wrote.
