Our body is more than just a sum of its parts – it’s a complicated, dynamic ecosystem where every organ, nerve and vessel is in conversation with each other. Psychological wellbeing, as suggested by recent research, has proven ties to the state of our cardiovascular health. Likewise, the quality of our sleep can affect our cognitive abilities, while fitness levels can have a direct impact on mental health.
Therefore, more than ever, we need a ready tool that acknowledges the inextricability of our vital health data and helps us navigate such complications on demand. While the closest thing available is the modern-day smartwatch, many smartwatches in the market lack the added dimension to deal with such complexities.
As an answer to this need, Huawei has developed HUAWEI TruSense System for its new wearables, like the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series. The new wearable health innovation is designed to provide accurate, fast, and most importantly, comprehensive insights, helping users make more informed decisions about their health. HUAWEI TruSense System not only monitors physical health and fitness but also extends its reach to emotional well-being, offering a holistic approach to personal health management.
Heart Health at the Centre of it All: Featuring Instant ECG Analysis
At its core, the HUAWEI TruSense System utilises a new and improved sensor that allows more accurate readings during exercise or sleep. Additionally, the software has been updated to capture a wider range of pulse signals, improving the accuracy of heart rate measurements.
By utilising HUAWEI TruSense System’s improved LED sensors, the PPG detection mechanism measures changes in blood volume through light absorption and a photodetector at the surface of the skin. This enables the system to capture vital data such as heart rate, rhythm, and irregular patterns. The heart rate tracking is further refined with a heart rate algorithm developed through AI model training, along with a new multi-channel fusion blood oxygen algorithm.
The HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Pro exclusive ECG electrode button also makes round-the-clock ECG readings possible. With the touch of the dedicated ECG electrode button, users can get their ECG waveforms within 30 seconds. While it doesn’t replace professional medical equipment, this feature provides the convenience of monitoring heart health on the go, helping users detect abnormalities that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Emotional Wellbeing Assistant: Get in Touch with Your Inner World
It’s more important than ever to connect with our emotions and take proactive steps to manage stress. The HUAWEI TruSense System addresses this need with its new Emotional Wellbeing Assistant, which detects emotional states through physiological changes.
This emotional health data will then be parsed through the HUAWEI Health App on a weekly to monthly basis under Trend Analyses, allowing users to develop a long-term plan for emotional health regulation. The feature also provides practical suggestions to help users build a lasting habit of emotional management through activities like daily exercises and breathing exercises. The Emotional Wellbeing Assistant also adds a playful element to tracking your mood with the interactive Pet Panda watch face. This feature mirrors your emotions with a variety of animated expressions, updating automatically based on your most recent emotional state with a simple raise of the wrist.
Solutions for Long-term Holistic Health Protection
From sleep apnoea risk detection to menstrual health tracking, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series was developed to cover a variety of health risks. These insights are automatically recorded over time in the HUAWEI Health App, where they are analysed to provide personalised recommendations. Imagine having an assistant and expert both at your wrist, reminding you to make small yet incremental lifestyle changes that can improve your health for the long term. After all, health issues don’t exist in a vacuum. To truly achieve holistic health, wearable technology must step up in equipping users with the right tools to better understand themselves and make up for our blind spots where possible.
Huawei has embraced this responsibility. The company has established partnerships with medical research institutions and hospitals worldwide. Through its wearable innovations, Huawei is contributing to the improvement of cardiovascular health and sleep monitoring research, using these collaborations as a foundation to further enhance its wearable health technology.
