But Jason was away from his phone at the time and did not see the message until later.
Unbeknown to him, Ms. Raylene’s fall had also triggered an automated 911 call, and a text message with her exact coordinates was also shared with emergency services. Medical personnel were able to reach Raylene – who was nearly unconscious at the time – within minutes and quickly moved her to a hospital, where further tests detected a cancerous growth in her lungs.
Jason says he wasn’t aware of the Apple Watch’s emergency features — but is happy that he chose to gift the product to his mother last Christmas. The watch was intended as a tool to help Ms. Raylene keep track of her workouts, but it has already proven itself to be a far greater tool than that.
Even as Ms. Hackenwerth awaits treatment for cancer, she is thankful to Apple Watch for saving her life and helping doctors detect her cancer in its early stages.
“If it hadn’t been for the falling and the Apple Watch calling them, I wouldn’t even know this was there, and maybe by the time it had got found in the future, it would be too late,” she was quoted saying to WFTS.
Ms. Hackenwerth’s case is not the first instance of Apple Watch saving people’s lives. Another recent incident involving an Apple Watch was reported from India, where the gadget was credited with saving the life of a 33-year-old man.
