Even if you never use Siri, it is better to leave the function switched on – because that can save your life.
Siri can save your life
Siri is useful for all kinds of things, but that does not mean that everyone uses this virtual assistant. Yet it is a good idea not to eliminate Siri. Daniel Vallaire from Fort Lauderdale, Florida recently found this.
A few days before his 70th birthday, Vallaire collapsed in his bathroom. In the 48 hours that followed, he made frantic attempts to come from the bathroom to the living room to get help. He was confused, had no strength and was seriously dried out, but thanks to Siri, care providers were able to save the man.
Vallaire was unable to make calls himself, so he called to Siri to call his daughter Victoria. Siri called his daughter, who passed on the emergency to 911. Ten minutes later the care providers arrived. Vallaire says about it: “If I had had a landline, I would not have been able to call. And if I hadn’t had Siri, I would not have been here anymore. “
Saved from a stroke
After social workers had saved Vallaire, it became clear in the hospital that he had had a stroke caused by an infection in two of his aortic valves. Vallaire has the medical team that saved its life earlier this month meet. He said he is grateful that he has escaped death and emphasizes how important it is to be aware of the health of your heart.
In the meantime, Siri and other safety functions from Apple such as accident detection, fall detection and SOS emergency notification have been responsible for saving many lives. Siri is available on all Apple devices, including the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Vision Pro, HomePod and Apple TV.
