I'm not saying this is necessarily true, but you might be surprised what 
experienced paramedics, police officers know. There may be many who could be 
well aware of the fact that all they have to do is to bring up SIRI and turn 
off Voiceover.

True, a sighted person may not know the gestures. I am not willing to unload 
VoiceOver each time I am done using my phone, just in case of emergency. I 
don't know a good way around this, if someone did get your phone/device and you 
were  not able to respond or use it in an emergency. The only thing that comes 
to mind is my spouse knows the basics of using VoiceOver, and even understands 
the speed I have it set at, so she could turn VoiceOver off.

Also, if you have 'emergency s.o.s.'enabled in 'settings', you can add one 
or more people to contact in case of an emergency.  This feature is in the 
'medical I.D. section of the 'health' app.

Re: apple health app

As long as we're talking about the Health app, let me also mention
that there is a Medical ID tab in the bottom right corner of the
screen. If you have any sort of major health conditions, like
diabetes, heart issues, short of breath, etc.; it would be to your
benefit to fill in as much information as you are comfortable. In case
of emergency, EMS or other personnel can access that ID information
from an emergency button on the lock screen. This happens when the
phone prompts for Touch/Face ID or a passcode, an emergency button
appears in the bottom left of the screen. I think you can also fill in
medications you are taking or are allergic to in the Medical ID
section. There should be a video in there that talks more about this
feature and how it can help. Finally, if you want to be an organ
donor, you can access an organ donation button somewhere in the Health
app, I think on the Medical ID page but not sure. This information is
sent to a third party and Apple is kept out of the loop, for those
concerned about privacy.

Largely it's automatic. Just keep your phone in a pocket (or otherwise on
your person, armband, whatever) and start walking. Check the app, it should
have picked up that was what you were doing. Apple doesn't details "how"
but there's an accelerometer in the phone and it's "just a matter of
software" to turn that into a pedometer. However, it's not as accurate as a
real one:

Hi folks 
Could somebody explain to me please on how the apple health works? 

 

Largely it collects data from other applications providing a secure "hub" for 
your data. For example, users of Strava (popular running/cycling/etc. tracker) 
can configure things so that all your workouts are automatically uploaded into 
Apple Health. users of various glucose meters can configure them to upload 
their data as well. Then, looking at Apple Health you can see both your 
workouts and your glucose history. You can configure several major US based 
labs (no doubt nonUS as well, but I haven't exercised them) so that your blood 
or other lab results are automatically downloaded as well.

 

In addition to it's function as a hub, it has some limited built in monitoring 
... walking/stair climbing are reasonably picked up from the phone itself. you 
can manually input data (such as weight or other results). If you have an Apple 
Watch (latest models) you can have your heart data stored as well. No doubt 
Apple will add other sensors over time.
