Technological Innovation in Health Monitoring

Huawei's commitment to innovation is evident through its continuous investment in research and development within the wearable health technology sector. The company has established three Health Labs worldwide, collaborating with over ten research institutes to push the boundaries of sports health technology.

In 2024, Huawei unveiled the TruSense health monitoring system, which significantly improves the accuracy and speed of vital sign data tracking. By 2025, this system was further enhanced with fingertip and wrist detection features, enabling users to receive comprehensive health data insights swiftly. For instance, users can now achieve oxygen saturation readings through fingertips within just ten seconds. Furthermore, in the realm of blood pressure management, the HUAWEI WATCH D has become a certified Class II medical device in China and is now included in the “Chinese Guidelines for Hypertension Prevention and Treatment (Revised 2024).”

As of now, Huawei has obtained seven national medical certifications for its wearable devices across thirteen countries and regions, filing nearly one thousand patents in intelligent wearable technology.

Engaging Users Globally

In an effort to promote healthy and active lifestyles, Huawei launched the “Light Up Your Rings” campaign in September 2023, which saw over six million global participants activate their activity rings more than 300 million times. Building on this success, the “Active Rings” initiative was introduced in 2025, encouraging a delightful movement experience for users worldwide through Huawei's wearable devices. The Active Rings campaign has already taken place in several regions, including Germany, Spain, and China, and is set for gradual expansion into the Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle Eastern markets.

As Huawei continues to innovate and lead in wearable technology, the future looks bright for both the company and its dedicated user base, paving the way for healthier lifestyles supported by cutting-edge technology.
