This overlooked Pixel Watch 3 feature could save your life


Google just unveiled the Pixel Watch 3 with lots of flashy new features, but one of the quieter ones, its Loss of Pulse Detection, aims to help emergency responses. Here's how it works.

If there is still no response, the feature will prompt your device to call emergency support with an automated message explaining the loss of pulse alert and sharing your location. Loss of Pulse Detection is designed for instances where people may be alone and in life-threatening scenarios, aiming to expand that infrastructure to potentially connect more users to emergency care when needed. Loss of Pulse Detection will be available on Pixel Watch 3 in September across Europe, including in the UK, France, Austria, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
