Huawei Brings New Upgrades to Wearables with Enhanced HUAWEI TruSense System and More Precise Health Monitoring
Huawei today announced the latest upgrade to its pioneering health and fitness innovation, HUAWEI TruSense System, now enhanced with the new Distributed Super-Sensing Module. This advancement represents a major leap forward in science-based, precise, and comprehensive health management solutions, setting a new industry benchmark since HUAWEI TruSense System’s successful debut in 2024.
The enhanced HUAWEI TruSense System now integrates fingertip detection capabilities with multimodal signal fusion, extending its monitoring reach from the wrist to the fingertip, an industry-first upgrade aimed at improving accuracy. It also brings a wrist and fingertip detection combination, enabling rapid and accurate measurement. This breakthrough was developed in response to growing global demand for more proactive, real-time health management.
Huawei Continues to Lead Wearables Industry with Breakthroughs
Huawei entered the health and fitness business 12 years ago and continues to lead the global market. IDC’s latest data[1] places Huawei’s number one global rank in wrist-worn shipments year-on-year growth. Huawei ranks first in shipments in the global wrist-worn market below US$700 (excluding tax) and has been ranked first in smartwatch shipments in the Chinese market for six consecutive years.
Consumers around the world are more health-conscious than ever before, and this has created demand for convenient, comprehensive, and accurate monitoring capabilities. Huawei’s response to this demand is a system that integrates all of the company’s latest advances in vital sign monitoring. In 2024, Huawei launched the HUAWEI TruSense System, a new digital health & fitness paradigm that’s defined by six key characteristics: Accurate, all-around, Fast, Flexible, Open, and Iterable.
HUAWEI TruSense measures more than 60 health and fitness indicators, covering six of the body’s major health systems, including circulatory, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and muscular. Amongst the indicators is the emotional well-being component, which debuted in HUAWEI WATCH GT 5 Series and HUAWEI WATCH D2. Sensors monitor the user’s heart rate and autonomic nervous system data. This data is fed into an algorithm that produces an assessment of the user’s emotional well-being and stress levels, to help users enjoy the benefits of both a healthy body and a healthy mind.
All-New Distributed Super-Sensing Module
The latest update to the TruSense System is a groundbreaking new Distributed Super-Sensing Module, combining wrist-based and fingertip sensing to deliver significantly enhanced health insights. The module utilises optical, electrical, acoustic, and mechanical signals, integrating these multi-modal inputs to dramatically improve the accuracy, speed, and comprehensiveness of health monitoring.
The newly implemented Distributed Super-Sensing Module builds on last year’s Super-Sensing Module, which has already been recognised by professional institutions for its accuracy in monitoring key health indicators such as blood oxygen, heart rate, blood pressure risk evaluation, etc. Huawei has overcome the space limitations of the watch’s bottom, leveraging the advantages of monitoring different parts of the human body. It has deployed more powerful and diverse sensors in a distributed manner.
The upgrade enhances sensing capabilities by coordinating data collection from both the wrist and other human body parts, for example, the fingertips. With the fingertip’s naturally dense vascular structure and thinner skin surface, interference from melanin and hair is significantly reduced, offering a unique edge in certain scenarios, particularly cardiovascular monitoring. By using the physiological data points, the system captures richer signals across more scenarios, delivering faster, more precise, and more comprehensive health insights.
Blood oxygen measurement speed has seen a significant improvement, now capable of detecting changes in real-time, marking another substantial leap in response time. The comprehensive health snapshot feature, Health Glance, now assesses over 10 vital indicators in just 60 seconds.
This rapid assessment includes three newly added health metrics for users, namely Heart Rate Variability (HRV), emotional well-being, and ovarian function assessment, delivering a more complete, timely, and user-centric health monitoring experience.
HUAWEI WATCH 5: More Details to be announced in May
Huawei remains dedicated to pushing technological boundaries in digital health. With ongoing research in advanced health monitoring technologies, HUAWEI WATCH 5 will include the enhanced HUAWEI TruSense System. Users can look forward to the new future-forward smartwatch release on May 15, 2025, in Berlin.
