Apple Watch is the most used smart Watch in the US, and loyal customers keep returning to it with every alternate generation. Apple\u2019s next Watch may have an advanced \u201cFall detection\u201d system, which has several tricks up its sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recently granted patent <a href=\"http:\/\/patft.uspto.gov\/netacgi\/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&amp;Sect2=HITOFF&amp;p=1&amp;u=\/netahtml\/PTO\/srchnum.html&amp;r=1&amp;f=G&amp;l=50&amp;d=PALL&amp;s1=10629048.PN.\"><strong>US10629048B2<\/strong><\/a> titled \u201cDetecting falls using a mobile device\u201d discusses the fall detection system that can optionally connect with the emergency services in case if the system detects any fall based on the user\u2019s motion characteristics measured by a motion sensor worn by the person in the form of watch\/wearable.
