Google Research Scientist with University Washington Ties Designs ‘Loss of Pulse Detection’ Feature for Smartwatch

In a race against time, a smartwatch might be the best defense. More specifically, the time concern is the loss of pulse brought on by cardiac arrest. And the defense could be a Pixel Watch 3 with technology developed at Google by Jake Sunshine, a research scientist at the company who is also an associate professor at the University of Washington. Google’s “Loss of Pulse Detection” received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at the end of February and will begin rolling out in the U.S. at the end of this month.
