This is a man who was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 9. just a morning, quietly set about doing chores around the house, when after a pause in his memory, he woke up regaining consciousness surrounded by doctors
“From what I remember, it was a typical Sunday in November. I was cleaning up and getting ready for the week ahead. Everything was fine until I then remembered a whole team of doctors working around me as I slowly regained consciousness.
It seems, his Apple Watch detected a strong fall, and following protocol, realizing that Joe Plumb was unconscious, he called the emergency services. By default, there is a 5 second period in which it is allowed to cancel the call, but since the user was not able to cancel the warning, the clock notified both the emergencies and their previously configured contacts. Thanks to this, you can now continue your life normally.
