Pixel Watch 5’s biggest new safety feature is also coming to Pixel Watch 4
Users in the US will have to wait longer to get it, though.
The Pixel Watch 5 has introduced a new safety feature called Breathing Emergency Detection, which is also now available on the older Pixel Watch 4. This feature utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze various signals such as heart rate, motion, altitude, and blood oxygen levels in order to identify a possible breathing emergency. Upon detecting such an emergency and if the wearer does not respond, the feature automatically initiates a call to emergency services.
The Breathing Emergency Detection feature, which is part of Google's Health Guardian suite, is currently accessible on both the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Watch 5 in ten European countries. These include the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Ireland, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland. However, it's important to note that the feature is not yet available in the United States.
Despite the Pixel Watch 4 not having the feature at launch, Google has confirmed that they are working on expanding the availability of Breathing Emergency Detection to more countries globally.
