Google Gains Fda Clearance for Pixel Watch 3's Pulse Alert Feature
Google has received FDA clearance for its Pixel Watch 3's Loss of Pulse Detection feature, allowing it to roll out to US users at the end of March. This feature alerts users if they have lost their pulse due to a medical event and automatically calls emergency services if no response is received. The certification marks an important milestone in the development of wearable technology for health emergencies.
- As consumer-grade wearables become increasingly sophisticated, questions arise about liability and responsibility in cases where devices intervene on behalf of users.
- Will the widespread adoption of pulse-detecting smartwatches lead to a shift in the way we think about medical emergency response protocols?
