Imagine a smartwatch that can read your health so accurately that it uses data not only from your wrist, but also from your finger. It might sound like science fiction, but this is Huawei's latest major innovation in connected health. The Chinese tech giant has just announced a major update to its Huawei TruSense system. It is enriched with a new module called Distributed Super-Sensing.
Unveiled Launching for the first time in August 2024, the Huawei TruSense system is capable of monitoring more than 60 health and fitness indicators. It covers six major body systems: circulatory, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and muscular. But with this new version, Huawei is pushing the boundaries by integrating multi-point sensing capability for the first time. Monitoring is now no longer limited to the wrist and combines signals collected from both on the wrist and at the tip of the finger.
Huawei's secret? Signal fusion
The new Distributed Super-Sensing module relies on a combination of optical, electrical, acoustic, and mechanical signals. Why the finger? Simply because its dense vascular structure and thin skin provide a particularly effective measurement point, particularly for cardiovascular monitoring, minimizing interference. By merging data from these two areas, the TruSense V2 system captures richer physiological information, providing a faster, more accurate, and more complete health picture.
The benefits are tangible for the user, according to the manufacturer. Blood oxygen measurement, for example, gains speed, allowing real-time monitoring of changes. The health assessment function Health Glance, a fast app, can now assess more than 10 vital indicators in just 60 seconds, including new metrics like Heart Rate Variability (HRV) or even ovarian function assessment. A proactive approach to health, accessible and fast.
Huawei will announce a new watch on May 15
This technological advancement is part of Huawei's strategy to be a major player in wearables. Present in the health field and fitness for 12 years, Huawei relies on data from IDC to claim the number 1 spot worldwide in terms of annual growth in wrist-worn device shipments. The Chinese brand also dominates the segment of devices priced under $700 (excluding taxes) and has ruled the Chinese smartwatch market for six consecutive years. A "reconversion" successful for the Chinese company hated by Donald Trump, which now makes a very large part of its revenue in China.
