Will Fall Detection Work on this Old Phone

My Mom has iPhone SE software version 15.6. Will it support the Fall Detection feature if I purchase an Apple Watch with this option? They say it requires iPhone 6s or later, but not sure if this includes my Mom's old SE phone.

Fall detection is on the watch. You need a watch series 4 or newer, there is no mention of IOS


Use Fall Detection with Apple Watch - Apple Support


If Apple Watch SE or Apple Watch Series 4 or later detects a hard fall while you're wearing your watch, it taps you on the wrist, sounds an alarm, and displays an alert.
