Google has received FDA clearance for its loss of pulse detection feature available on Pixel Watch 3.
The loss of pulse detection technology checks for an individual's pulse. Once it detects signs of a loss of pulse, it activates infrared and red lights to search for additional pulse signals. A motion sensor then checks for signs of movement.
An AI algorithm then analyzes the pulse and movement...
