Huawei has unveiled its latest breakthrough in the field of smart watches with an innovative feature that is revolutionizing healthcare. The recently launched Huawei Watch 4 has surprised users by including a unique feature: the ability to measure (or control, rather) blood sugar. This new functionality has become an ideal option for people with diabetes, as it allows them to monitor their glucose levels in real time comfortably and efficiently.
As technology advances, health-related options have become an essential quality of today’s smartwatches. While Apple is rumored to be working on blood sugar monitoring for its popular Apple Watch as well, Huawei has been the first brand to bring this innovation to its devices. The Huawei Watch 4 offers a exhaustive analysis of ten health indicators in just 60 secondsallowing constant and precise monitoring of blood sugar levels, but we are going to investigate more about this new model.
Does not measure sugar as such
Huawei’s development is based on extensive research and collaboration with prestigious medical institutions. Through rigorous testing involving more than 800,000 blood sugar measurements over 100,000 hours, Huawei has succeeded in developing a reliable and accurate system for health monitoring. Once the Huawei Watch 4 is connected, it tracks heart rate, pulse wave characteristics, and other key indicators to assess the risk of hyperglycemia.
According to the president of the company, Richard Yu, who has been the one who has shared information about the new Huawei smartwatch on Weibo, the purpose of the watch is to analyze certain indicators that may or may not recommend sugar consumption depending on whether the result is favorable or not.
To use this feature, users must participate in a blood sugar research program conducted by a third-party medical institution and be over 18 years of age. It’s important to put attention on the Huawei Watch 4 is not classified as a medical devicebut rather provides reference information.
Besides, Its use is not recommended for people with type 1 diabetes., since your pancreas does not produce insulin. However, type 2 diabetics, who experience decreased insulin production over time and develop insulin resistance, could benefit from the Huawei Watch 4’s blood sugar monitoring feature.
Does the Huawei Watch 4 arrive in Spain?
He Huawei Watch 4 has so far only been announced in China, but later it will end up arriving in Spain as usual in the watches of the Chinese brand. However, it is unknown if the Spanish version of the device will have this function, since to take advantage of the feature you have to be part of an external company that analyzes the data, so we just have to wait and see what happens.
This new Huawei smartwatch equips a 1.5-inch AMOLED screen and comes with HarmonyOS 3.1 integrated. In addition to the blood sugar monitoring function, the device offers various health-related features such as oxygen readings and electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis. With a battery life of up to three days and water resistance of up to 5ATM, the watch is available in various models and colors to suit individual wearer preferences.
