In this context, on June 23, 65438, Huawei announced three new health research projects in the field of sports health, namely, hypertension management research, intelligent body temperature health research and coronary heart disease screening research, and made new explorations around the theme of "active health management". It is reported that Huawei will conduct research on hypertension management with well-known domestic institutions, with the goal of exploring innovative active health management of blood pressure from screening to early intervention based on Huawei wearable blood pressure measuring equipment and combining with industry experts.
In the research of intelligent body temperature health, Huawei broke through the continuous body temperature detection technology based on smart wear, accurately measured wrist skin temperature based on high-precision temperature sensor, and realized continuous body temperature detection by using intelligent compensation algorithm. In addition, Huawei is also conducting joint research on intelligent screening and early warning of coronary heart disease. With the help of the medical-grade ECG acquisition ability of Huawei smart watches, the intelligent screening and early warning of coronary heart disease can be realized by integrating PPG and ACC data to help consumers actively manage their health.
Some people may ask, what is the significance of these explorations by manufacturers to our ordinary consumers? In fact, the function selection of wearable devices has always been inseparable from the research and development direction of manufacturers. From the perspective of ordinary consumers, it is not difficult to choose a wearable device. The simplest thing is to adapt to the mobile phone ecology, especially when mobile phone manufacturers such as Huami OV have already laid out wearables.
But looking back at the development of wearable devices, we can see the evolution direction of their core functions, from communication devices to sports assistants, to health monitoring and more comprehensive digital health management. The role of wearable devices in our lives is an escalating process. As an important force in the field of wearable devices, Huawei has always participated in and stood at the forefront of the industry. Through different terminal devices, it brings a novel and perfect experience to our intelligent life and sports health.
Huawei is one of the first mobile phone brands to start the research and development of wearable devices. As early as 20 14, Huawei released its own talking bracelet-Huawei TalkBand B 1, and then the smart watch line followed suit and launched a new Huawei watch. At this stage, Huawei's wearable products are mainly developing in the direction of "small screen mobile phones". Mobile terminals linked by Bluetooth, smart watches and other products can realize the functions of answering phones and sending and receiving short messages.
Later, on Huawei WATCH 2 Pro and other products, the LTE version with eSIM function was also launched. Huawei hopes to distinguish smart watches from mobile phones, so that wearable devices can truly run independently from mobile phones and open new tracks.
Around 20 17, Huawei focused on "sports health", which also conformed to the concept of "national sports" in the national outline of "Healthy China 2030". Huawei hopes that wearable devices can become professional sports partners around us. People can get a healthy life through exercise, while wearable devices rely on algorithm technology to feed back exercise and guide sports science.
Specifically, Huawei invited sports experts from different fields to join the team of engineers to "deconstruct" various sports types in the laboratory, just like motion capture in movies, collecting data, establishing models, constantly optimizing according to algorithms, and cooperating with the "heart rate monitoring" function of terminal equipment, so that athletes can finally know their physical condition in real time and get scientific sports guidance during the exercise.
Because exercise and health are inseparable, "health monitoring" immediately becomes an important development direction of wearable devices in the next stage after the motion algorithm becomes more professional and mature.
In recent years, due to lifestyle changes, some diseases tend to be younger, coupled with the growth of chronic patients brought about by an aging society. In medical practice, people begin to realize the importance of body data for daily health management, and active prevention will become the new normal of national health.
In this context, wearable devices, as the closest products to people, have undoubtedly become the best sensor carrier, especially in smart watches, which have many health monitoring functions, including heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, blood oxygen monitoring and so on.
In the field of active health management, Huawei has always been involved and joined hands with authoritative organizations to conduct research. 20 18 30 1 The hospital carried out PPG atrial fibrillation screening research based on Huawei wearable devices to protect people's heart health, and then brought atrial fibrillation premature beat monitoring and sleep apnea monitoring. In addition, Huawei also cooperates with the National Center for Telemedicine and Internet Medicine to provide expert ECG interpretation services; Huawei Health Science Laboratory is still exploring more health fields.
65438123 October, Huawei put forward three new research projects in the field of active health management, namely, hypertension management research, intelligent body temperature health research and coronary heart disease screening research mentioned at the beginning. This means that Huawei's digital health research is gradually covering many important vital signs of the human body, including pulse, blood pressure and body temperature. Instead of passive health feedback, we began to explore active risk screening, so as to achieve early intervention and the best treatment. Protect the health vision. Some media predict that Huawei will release the latest Huawei WATCH 3 series or Huawei WATCH GT 3 series smart watches on 202 1, and it is very likely to carry these three health research results. Perhaps people will soon be able to measure hypertension, body temperature and coronary heart disease through smart watches, which is very worth looking forward to.
Huawei's continuous deep cultivation in the field of active health management has also been recognized by the market. IDC's Quarterly Tracking Report of China Wearable Device Market in the Third Quarter of 2020 shows that in the third quarter of 2020, Huawei shipped more than 9,465,438+million wearable devices in China, an increase of 60.5% compared with 20 19, accounting for 28.6% of the whole wearable device market, ranking first in the industry.
In the future, more mainstream diagnosis, treatment and medical monitoring must rely on Internet hospitals from online to offline. Wearable devices can quantify every behavior of our bodies through data monitoring, and will eventually become a daily link between users and hospital terminals.
In this field, Huawei has entered the market ahead of schedule and experienced every development stage. In the current health management, it combines the R&D resources of dozens of research institutions around the world. In addition, Huawei has a strong entrance with its mobile phone terminal, which is very sticky to users. With the continuous deepening of Huawei in the field of smart wearable devices, I believe that Huawei can go faster and further on this track, and truly let technology connect everyone's healthy life.
