Abstract

New smart devices that have the potential to support the health and well-being of their owners have become available. In particular, smart watches are able to identify a fall by the person who is wearing the watch and report it to pre-defined contacts and the local emergency control center. Falls in older people are common and only rarely caused by malignant cardiac arrhythmia. The case of an elderly male whose smart watch automatically reported his fall due to ventricular fibrillation to the local emergency control center is described. Through the intervention of the wearer's device, the activated dispatcher called the patient's wife, who found her husband lying unresponsive on the floor. Emergency medical services responded immediately and were able to successfully resuscitate the patient. A hospital discharge without any long-term complications was achieved.

智能手表在心室颤动病例中的跌倒探测功能挽救了生命。
新的智能设备已经问世,它们有可能为佩戴者的健康和福祉提供支持。特别是,智能手表能够识别佩戴手表的人是否跌倒,并向预先设定的联系人和当地紧急控制中心报告。老年人摔倒很常见,但很少由恶性心律失常引起。本报告描述了一名老年男性因心室颤动而跌倒,智能手表自动向当地紧急控制中心报告的案例。通过佩戴者设备的干预,启动的调度员呼叫了病人的妻子,她发现丈夫躺在地板上毫无反应。紧急医疗服务人员立即做出反应,成功地对病人进行了抢救。病人顺利出院,没有出现任何长期并发症。
