Apple Watch Saves Ohio Man After Fall
A man named Mohammad Islam was outside his house in Cincinnati, Ohio, when he suddenly fell and couldn't get up.
He was wearing an Apple Watch, which has a special feature that can tell if someone has fallen hard.
The watch noticed he was still lying down and called 911 for him.
Paramedics arrived quickly and found he had blood clots in his lungs, but because the watch helped, he got treatment fast and survived.
His daughters gave him the watch as a gift, and he says it saved his life.
Mohammad Islam collapsed outside his Cincinnati home while taking out trash.
His Apple Watch detected the fall and automatically called emergency services.
Doctors found blood clots in his lungs; the quick response likely saved his life.
The watch was a gift from his daughters, who were relieved it helped.
The incident demonstrates the fall‑detection feature of Apple Watch SE, Series 4+, and Ultra.
