Huawei has announced the launch of a new health monitoring system for wearable products.
Speaking at an event in China, the Chinese tech giant said the TruSense system offers “comprehensive and accurate” monitoring capabilities that measure more than 60 health and fitness indicators.
This is done based on a proprietary algorithm that is able to evaluate indicators such as emotional well-being and stress levels.
The company explained that it has worked with over 150 partners to develop its wearable health monitoring system and has made significant investments in optical, electrical and material science research, aiming to overcome challenges for wearable health sensors, such as skin color, wrist size and weather conditions.
Huawei has not revealed which products will incorporate TruSense, but they are expected to be released this September.
