Apple's new Crash Detection feature in iPhone 14 Series and the new Apple Watches is awesome, but how does it work?

Apple has officially announced the much-awaited iPhone 14 series. There has been a lot of debate about these devices’ functionality ever since they were introduced. The vital Car Crash Detection tool is one of the new features in the iPhone 14 series.

Apple claims in a support document posted on the official website that this safety function is intended to identify serious vehicle accidents, such as rollovers, front impacts, and side impacts. Minivans, sedans, pickup trucks, SUVs, and other passenger vehicles are included. However, it’s crucial to understand that not all crashes can be detected by the feature. If a serious car crash is detected, Apple claims users will be able to access the feature through their Apple Watch or the iPhone.

According to Apple, when a serious car accident is detected, a supported iPhone or Apple Watch will show a warning and sound an alert. Users can then contact Emergency by sliding the emergency call slider on their iPhone or Apple Watch, or they can silence the alert. Additionally, if they again overlook the alarm after that, the device will continue another countdown of 10 seconds. The device dials Emergency if they don’t respond any further.

Set up the emergency service on your iPhone:

Car Crash Detection is enabled by default on supported iPhone and Apple Watch models. Set up your Medical ID and your emergency contacts in the Health app to notify them and share them with emergency personnel. Turn on Location Services for Emergency SOS to communicate your location with your emergency contacts.

Though the feature will be enabled by default, users can also do the same manually.

Steps to disable the Car Crash Detection feature on iPhone 14 series:

You can turn off the feature by doing the following if you’re worried that it might inadvertently report a crash and call for help:

Visit the ‘Settings’ option on your iPhone.
Scroll down to find the option that reads, ‘Emergency SOS.’
Under the section, turn off the toggle for ‘Call After Severe Crash.’
Watch the tutorial here:

In order to identify serious auto accidents, data from sensors such as an accelerometer and gyroscope from your devices are utilised. Unless you agree to share your data to improve crash detection, all sensor data required to detect serious vehicle accidents is processed on the device and deleted when a crash is identified.

COVID-19 origins: Should we pay more attention to the lab leak theory and formally investigate it?

Image
A year and a half into the pandemic, we still do not know exactly where the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes Covid-19, came from. The prevailing view so far has been that the virus “spilled over” from bats into humans. But there are increasing calls to investigate the possibility that it emerged from a lab in Wuhan, China, where Covid first appeared at the end of 2019. So what do we know for sure, and what do we need still to find out? We know the sequence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is close to that of bat coronaviruses . Several decades ago its “ancestor” was circulating in bat populations in southern Asia. But there are still many unanswered questions: we don’t know how the virus arrived in Wuhan, how its sequence evolved to allow human infection, and under what conditions it infected the first people who crossed its path. And for each of these stages, we don’t know whether there was a human contribution (direct or indirect). Zoonotic transmission pathways, in other words the pas

Menstrual cups are cheaper, more sustainable than pads and tampons for women

Image
Every year in America, women spend at least US$2.8 billion on sanitary pads and tampons that can take hundreds of years to decompose . Is there a more economical and environmentally friendly way? To find out, we asked Susan Powers , a professor of sustainable environmental systems at Clarkson University about her work comparing the environmental impact of tampons, sanitary pads and menstrual cups. What is a menstrual cup? A menstrual cup is a type of reusable feminine hygiene product. It’s a small, flexible bell-shaped cup made of rubber or silicone that a woman inserts into her vagina to catch and collect menstrual fluid. It can be used for up to 12 hours, after which it is removed to dispose of the fluid and cleaned. The cup is rinsed with hot water and soap between each insertion and sterilized in boiling water at least once per period. A cup can last up to 10 years . Although menstrual cups have been around for decades, they historically have been less popular than pads or ta

Human bodies respond to infections differently depending on the time of day

Image
When microorganisms – such as bacteria or viruses – infect us, our immune system jumps into action. It’s highly trained to sense and eliminate infections and clear up any damage caused by them. It’s typically assumed our immune systems work the exact same way regardless of whether an infection occurs during the day or at night. But research spanning over half a century now shows our bodies actually respond differently at day and night. The reason for this is our body clock, and the fact that each cell in the body, including our immune cells, can tell what time of day it is. Our body clock has evolved over millions of years to help us survive. Every cell in the body has a collection of proteins that indicate the time depending on their levels. Knowing whether it’s day or night means our body can adjust its functions and behaviours (such as when we want to eat) to the correct time. Our body clock does this by generating 24 hour rhythms (also termed circadian rhythms ) in how cells f
