Huawei has announced the launch of a new health monitoring system for wearables.
At an event in China, the Chinese IT giant said its TruSense system measures more than 60 health and fitness metrics, providing “comprehensive and accurate” monitoring capabilities.
The app runs on a proprietary algorithm that can assess these indicators, including your emotional well-being and stress levels.
The company explained that it has invested heavily in optical, electrical and materials science research, working with more than 150 partners to develop wearable health monitoring systems. Their research aimed to overcome the challenges posed by skin tone, wrist size and weather conditions for wearable health sensors.
Huawei hasn’t revealed which of its products will integrate TruSense, but they are expected to be released this September.
