I started Apple Watch As a piece of digital jewelry that appeared in fashion magazines, the company was able to turn its smart watch into an indispensable tool thanks to the very important health features it brings, including monitoring the heartbeat and breathing. It is also able to detect falls and even when exposed to a car accident. A phone call to emergency services. But it seems that Apple will not stop there, as it has obtained a new patent for a feature that makes its smart watch capable of saving you in the event of drowning (God forbid).
Patent for Apple Watch
هناك 320.000 One drowning death annually. Drowning is also the third leading cause of death from unintentional injuries worldwide. Because it is keen not only to secure the privacy of its users, but also to protect them in ordinary life. Apple has obtained a new patent, which will allow its smart watch to detect when the user is trying to drown; Therefore, seek help and immediately call emergency services to save the person before it is too late.
According to the patent filed by Apple as a “wearable device as a digital lifeguard in the swimming pool.” The Apple smart watch can detect drowning while the user is in the pool. It thus sends SOS messages to lifeguards, parents, gym staff and people near the pool who can contact emergency services.
How will the watch save you from drowning?
The patent indicates that the Apple Watch will be trained to use its sensors to determine when a swimmer is showing signs of erratic behavior while in the water. Swim metrics and other information such as heart rate and blood oxygen levels are fed into a machine learning model that is trained to classify a swimmer who exhibits regular or irregular behavior when in the water.
According to Apple, “When a swimmer is in distress (for example, due to a heart attack), the user’s underwater behavior becomes erratic. “The erratic behavior is reflected in swim analytics metrics and other information, such as heart rate or other vital signs.”
Also, the company says what is needed is a simpler and cost-effective solution for drowning prevention systems that can be deployed in all types of public and private swimming pools as well as natural pools such as lakes and ponds.
Finally, Apple obtains many patents for features that can be added to its various products every year, but most of them do not come to light and disappear. However, we may see the feature of drowning detection and emergency communication via the Apple smart watch, as the company is trying to make its smart watch, a vital tool that... It is indispensable for any user, so you will never stop bringing the health and life-saving features of the Apple Watch, which has become an icon when it comes to saving the lives of others.

A very nice feature, but is there enough time for rescue teams to arrive?
Welcome, Salman 🙋♂️, this new feature in the Apple Watch aims to immediately request help when a drowning attempt is detected and to contact emergency services. But of course, the speed of rescue teams' arrival depends on several factors, including the location of the accident, traffic conditions, and others. Our advantage here is in saving time as much as possible by immediately reporting drowning cases. 🏊♂️⌚🚑💨
First, thank you and may God bless you, iPhone Islam team, for the unlimited news and support.
Secondly, from my point of view, it is an excellent idea and one can benefit from it, even if God forbids the person not be saved from drowning, but we can discover the person’s location and to what place they were taken to the sea, and we always ask for prayers for our brothers in Gaza, asking God for victory and relief soon.
.🇱🇾🇵🇸💔
Dear Malik, Thank you for your wonderful comment! Yes, you're right. This feature may contribute to determining a person's location, even if the result is undesirable. This time, technology contributes to serving humanity. And of course, we are always with our brothers in Gaza in our hearts and prayers 🇵🇸💔🙏🏻.
First of all...Apple must stop lying because the watch cannot withstand swimming in the sea. I am one of the victims of this nonsense that cost me approximately 800 dollars. There are many cases like this in the rest of the world, but the ingenuity and power of marketing numb the customer...and in the words of one of the watch makers, there is no watch. Waterproof..
In fact, it is not convincing
Frankly, I do not know how to save a watch when someone is drowning. It is a strange thing. Imagine an immigrant wearing it in the Mediterranean. Will it save him?
Hello son of the country! 🙋♂️ The idea of an Apple Watch saving a drowning person might be truly amazing. The watch has sensors that can detect signs of irregular behavior in the water, such as drowning, for example, and then sends SOS messages to the relevant authorities. So yes, if a person was wearing it while drowning in the Mediterranean Sea, they might be able to call for help and call emergency services to rescue them. 🏊♂️🆘🚁
Good people, YouTube, the many ads have bothered us. I want YouTube to reduce the ads. Every time I enter a video, an ad appears. If I skip it, it doesn’t.
Hi Abdullah 🙋♂️, Unfortunately ads are part of how YouTube makes money. But you can subscribe to YouTube Premium to avoid ads if they bother you too much. As for Apple, it continues to develop and innovate in its products to provide a better and safer life for its users! 🍏🚀👏
A nice feature from Apple, and it will be more effective if combined with a GPS system to determine the location of the injured person while he is drowning in open places such as beaches and others.
Monopoly patent!
When a person drowns, there are quick moments between him and death when you want to save him! Rescue teams may arrive when it is too late, unless he is resisting drowning. The feature will be appropriate when there are family members nearby, giving a warning, and at the same time the feature will become annoying, such as incorrect messages, as happened with the fall and collision feature, which annoyed the authorities!
Hi Mohamed👋, your comment is really interesting! I agree with you, every technique has two sides, the most important thing is to use it in the right way. However, Apple is always striving to improve technology and software to reduce potential inconvenience. We hope that this innovation in the Apple Watch will be a step forward in saving lives 🚀🍏.
I hope Apple will add acapella sounds to iOS 18 and make us install apps from third-party stores. We have nothing to do with its problems with the European Union. We want to install apps from third-party stores.
Hello Abdullah 🙋♂️, Thank you for your comment. We can't confirm what Apple will offer in iOS 18, but we always expect new and exciting things from them! As for installing apps from third-party stores, this step requires major changes in Apple's security policies. We're here to give you the latest news on everything Apple 🍏.
Hello, are the voices of speech machines such as Majid, Laila, Maryam, Mahdi, Nizar, Salma, Laila a cappella, Saeeda, and Youssef? Are they human or are they actual speech machines?
Hello Abdullah 🙋♂️, the voices you hear like Majed, Laila and the rest are not real humans, but rather artificial voices produced through voice synthesis technology. These voices are generated through the use of some code mines and words to give the feeling that you are talking to a real human being. I hope that answered your question 😊👍🏼.
Peace be upon you, she originally saw natural sounds, but they were modified automatically and became the quality you are currently seeing.
