Automatically call 911 on Sense when temperature/heart drop dangerously

Hi, I work as a 112-operator in Europe. (Just like 911 but in the EU). Some time ago we had an 'fall detection alarm' from a smartwatch.
Now with the new Sense it could be lifesaving that, when temperature/heart rate/steps drop dangerously, it automatilcly calls 911. We as 911-operator could then get a unique link to follow the live statistics.
This is needed because:
If we get that unique link, we could take the ECG and mail it to the ambulance/doctor who are on their way. Also with that link we can see the exact location, allergies, current HR, SpO2, talk to the patient,... live A lifesaving idea?
I'd use this: Daily

Having an automatic call to 911 when a wearer falls would be invaluable.  I fell recently and had no way to get up and get to cell phone. But I had my Fitbit sense on but since it did not have the feature needed.

I have aFiB, would like an alert if my heart goes into AFib. And be able to call for help. I have aFiB, have had 2 cardioversions, & have had a stroke.  My husband is chemo patient, and mostly deaf. I couldn't reach him when I had the stroke. 

 

I bought Sense to help me with this, not sure it can do what I need. 

 

Will I get an alert? Will it contact my doctor?

Thanks.

After my mom passed away my dad was living alone. I bought a Fitbit Sense for him for peace of mind but he didn't want it because there were no 911 features like with the Apple watches. Unfortunately his phone is an Android so we couldn't get him an Apple watch either since they are not compatible with Androids. So, we would LOVE to have emergency features where 911 is called if he falls and if he can dial 911 through the Fitbit Sense for times where he can't reach the phone. Thank you!
