With the introduction of the Pixel Watch 3 smartwatches, which now come in two sizes, Google is also introducing a new, potentially life-saving feature: loss of pulse detection. At the Made by Google 2024 event Tuesday, the company announced the watch’s added ability to sense this particular health emergency alongside other new tools and features, like a “readiness” score for training, a cardio load score, and personalized daily target load, which combines the former and the latter metrics to show how much intensity you can handle each day.
However, the more compelling addition, including for non-athletes, is the loss of pulse detection feature.
According to Google, a loss of pulse is a health event that could happen to anyone and refers to when the heart is “not beating in a life-sustaining fashion.” This could be caused by a variety of health conditions, including cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, circulatory failure, overdose, poisoning, and more.
