Apple Watch Series 4 review: It's time to give one to Grandma | Hospitals and Healthcare | Scoop.it
The wearable comes with a handful of features aimed at a whole new demographic: the elderly. One new tool, for example, recognizes when a user falls and automatically sends a notification to their emergency contact. It's also the first wearable with a built-in ECG monitor available over the counter. The feature has been cleared by the FDA so it can be used as a medical device. The ECG's software will be activated in the United States later this year. Apple hasn't said whether it'll come to devices globally.
