With the development of science and technology, people's awareness of health has gradually awakened, and more and more friends have begun to care about their physical condition, which has also attracted the attention of technology manufacturers, and health-related industries such as wearable products have developed rapidly.
IDC's global wearable device shipment report in the third quarter of 2021 revealed the current development and market distribution of the wearable market, of which in the wrist wearable device segment, Huawei and Apple's shipments ranked first, which also means that Huawei once again reached the top in this field after the second quarter of 2020.
If you want to achieve such excellent results, it is naturally inseparable from Huawei's continuous investment in the field of health. As early as 2015, Huawei began to lay out wearable products, and then with continuous investment, it successively launched wearable products such as Huawei bracelets, Huawei WATCH series and Huawei WATCH GT series.
What is even more rare is that Huawei has also achieved a huge breakthrough in the wearable field in 2021, releasing surprise products such as the WATCH3 series and the WATCH GT3 series, which have brought a lot of innovative and excellent experiences in hardware and software. At the Huawei Winter New Product Launch on December 23, they brought Huawei's first wrist smart device that can measure blood pressure - wrist ECG blood pressure recorder Huawei WATCH D.
Why launch such a product? Here we have to go back to Huawei's continuous attention to the field of health. Huawei has actually equipped wearable products with a lot of health-oriented functions, such as ECG collection, heart rate monitoring, body temperature detection and sleep apnea monitoring, etc. This time, Huawei WATCH D is for the "king of all chronic diseases" - hypertension.
As we all know, hypertension is an important factor leading to human death worldwide, and it is a symptom characterized by increased blood pressure in the circulating arteries, which may be accompanied by a clinical synthesis of functional or organic damage to organs such as the heart, brain, and kidneys. If left unchecked, the risk of heart, brain and kidney disease can be increased.
WHO points out that as long as blood pressure is measured at home or at a medical point, it is possible to detect hypertension symptoms at an early stage, thereby improving daily living styles as early as possible to initially control blood pressure levels, thereby reducing the harm caused by hypertension. However, it is regrettable that the general electronic blood pressure volume and weight are large, not easy to carry, often let us miss the best measurement time, thus invisibly increasing the burden of hypertensive patients.
This time, the Huawei WATCH D is different, it is both a smart watch that is as light as 40.9g and can be carried around, and a wrist ECG blood pressure recorder that can measure a variety of health data.
In order to measure blood pressure at the wrist, Huawei WATCH D cleverly superimposes micro air pumps, airbags and other structures, integrates blood pressure measurement technology into the watch, and integrates high-precision pressure sensors, pressure feedback control circuits, and low-flow resistance gas circuits to achieve pressure measurement accuracy within ± 3 mmHg. Built-in polymer tensile material strap, human factors engineering arc airbag, with butterfly buckle, the pressurization process is more stable, improve the accuracy of blood pressure measurement.
Of course, it also supports ECG acquisition function, built-in ECG high-performance sensor module, support ECG signal acquisition, and instantly generate ECG reports. Both blood pressure measurement and ECG collection functions have passed the FDA Class II medical device registration, which is undoubtedly trustworthy for our health monitoring.
Don't forget, Huawei WATCH D itself is also an excellent smart watch product that can help us plan exercise, monitor sleep quality and develop new habits for a good life, etc., and there are a wealth of applications to choose from, which can help us live healthier.
Based on the above highlights, Huawei's understanding of smart wearable devices is indeed very unique, from research and development to products, full of surprises. How many more surprises will they bring to us in the future? We might as well look forward to it together.
