Future Apple Watches could be able to use a variety of sensors and algorithms to try and figure out how likely you are to fall even before you have the chance to do it.
The technology, which has been outlined in a new Apple patent, could replace in-person tests that are normally carried out at a medical facility. And while they won't be able to predict a fall in real-time, Apple Watches could one day tell people if they could be susceptible to falling due to a number of factors including their age, weight, height, and how steady they are on their feet when performing different actions.
