Pixel Watch 3 gains new life-saving pulse detection feature

Google has announced a significant update for the Pixel Watch 3, introducing a new Loss of Pulse Detection feature. This feature, which has received FDA clearance, can detect when a user's heart stops and alert emergency services. The watch uses advanced sensors to monitor heart activity and motion. If it detects a lack of response, it will trigger an alarm and call for help, providing the user's location to emergency responders. This update is expected to be available in the U.S. by the end of March. The feature is designed to enhance safety beyond existing functions like fall detection.
