Fishguard: Smart watch health alert triggers medical sea rescue

With helicopter and lifeboat on scene the Stena Nordica was able to continue its journey to Fishguard.

Cedwyn Rogers from the RNLI said: “This is the first time I’ve heard of an emergency response being initiated by a personal smart device so it was an interesting shout for crew demonstrating how useful technology can be.

“Had the casualty been a lone sailor this may have been the only alert received.

“We would like to take the opportunity to wish the casualty a speedy recovery and remind anyone using the water to ensure they have the correct communication equipment to suit their activity and journey, and this should be kept within reach at all times.”
