The Pixel Watch 3 will uses its rear heart rate sensor to determine if there has been a loss of pulse. According to Google research scientist Dr. Jake Sunshine, the company managed to test the Loss of Pulse Detection by asking medical patients preparing for procedures that would temporarily stop their hearts if they would wear the Watch 3 while they were undergoing treatment.
Google says that more than 50% of people who suffer loss of pulse events experience them with no one around, making it virtually impossible to survive.
