iFell – Fall Detection, Heart-Rate Trace & Orthostatic Check Stay safer, stay informed — backed by your Apple Watch. ▸ What it does iFell pairs Apple Watch's built-in fall detection with a 2-minute post-fall heart-rate trace, so when something happens, you get more than just an alert — you get a precise, time-stamped record of how your body responded. Add a 3-minute orthostatic stand test, longitudinal trends, and a shareable PDF report, and iFell becomes a working safety + heart-health log you can hand to a clinician. ▸ How it works Apple Watch¹ runs fall detection in the background. The moment a hard fall is detected, iFell automatically opens a 2-minute heart-rate recording on the watch and relays the trace back to your iPhone. When the recording finishes, you get a notification with an inline chart thumbnail showing the heart-rate range you experienced over those two minutes — tap it to jump straight to the full trace plotted against resting / normal / elevated / peak HR zones. All data stays on-device and in Apple Health. iFell never transmits it to any external server. ▸ Key features Fall Detection 24/7 — powered by Apple Watch sensors and Apple's own fall-detection algorithms. Post-fall heart-rate trace — automatic 2-minute recording with a full HR-zone line chart. Lock Screen notification with HR summary — actual BPM range shown in the alert, with an embedded chart thumbnail. Tap-to-open straight to the chart. Orthostatic Check — guided 3-minute supine → stand test with side-by-side BPM comparison and the clinical +20 BPM threshold drawn in. Longitudinal trends — orthostatic delta-HR over time + a recent-falls timeline so you can see frequency and changes at a glance. Care-provider PDF report — one-tap export of fall history + last orthostatic result + last HR trace as a shareable PDF. Quiet Hours — silences the manual test-fall button overnight; real fall recordings always run. Apple Watch native app — Status / Heart Rate / History pages with Always-On Display support. Lock-Screen complications + Smart Stack widget — recording-progress gauge during a capture, status badge otherwise. Accessibility — VoiceOver, audio-graph chart navigation, and Dynamic Type throughout. Privacy first — no accounts, no ads, no third-party analytics. Works fully offline. ▸ Requirements Apple Watch Series 6 or later running watchOS 11 or newer. Paired iPhone running iOS 18 or newer with the Health app enabled. Health permissions for Heart Rate (Read & Write). ¹Fall Detection must be enabled at Watch app on iPhone › My Watch › Emergency SOS › Fall Detection.
