The Apple Watch Series 4 has been credited with helping to save an Australian woman's life after she fell during an epileptic seizure.

Kate Donald, a married mother of three, was home alone when the seizure struck, according to a report from News Corp Australia. Fortunately, she was wearing the Apple Watch, the latest version of which can automatically call emergency services if it detects a hard fall followed by inactivity.

After Donald went down, the Apple Watch called for help and texted her husband Ben, alerting him of the situation. "Emergency SOS," the text read. "I called emergency services after Apple Watch detected a hard fall. You are receiving this message because I listed you as an emergency contact."

Ben called a neighbor, who wasn't home but was able to get ahold of someone else on the street to help.

"They let themselves in and called an ambulance, but the ambulance was like, 'Hang on, there's already someone being dispatched to the address," Kate told the news site. The watch then continued to send Ben updates about his wife's location as she was taken to the hospital.

The Apple Watch Series 4 earned an "excellent" rating in PCMag's review and our Editors' Choice award. We said the fall detection feature "doesn't necessarily make the watch a replacement for a dedicated medical alert device, but it definitely adds some reassurance."

This isn't the first time the Apple Watch has helped save someone's life. Last year, it urged 18-year-old Floridian Deanna Recktenwald to "seek medical attention" because her resting heart rate was unusually high. Doctors later determined that she was in kidney failure.
