TECH NEWS – This advancement opens new doors in science-based, comprehensive health monitoring solutions since the system’s debut in 2024.

The upgraded HUAWEI TruSense System now features fingertip sensing, combining various signal types to expand measurement capabilities from the wrist to the fingertip. This industry-first innovation aims to improve the accuracy of readings. By using wrist and fingertip sensing together, the system enables faster and more precise measurements than before. This development responds to the growing global demand for real-time, proactive health management.

Huawei remains a leader in the wearable tech market

Huawei entered the health and fitness market 12 years ago and continues to play a leading role globally. According to the latest data from research firm IDC, Huawei ranks first worldwide in wearable device shipments. Additionally, Huawei leads the global rankings for wearables under $700 (pre-tax) and has been the top smartwatch shipper in China for six consecutive years.

Today’s consumers are more health-conscious than ever, creating demand for more convenient, comprehensive, and accurate monitoring tools. In response, Huawei developed a system that integrates the company’s latest innovations for tracking vital signs. In 2024, it unveiled the HUAWEI TruSense System, a new digital health and fitness technology framework defined by six key traits: precision, versatility, speed, flexibility, openness, and continual improvement.

HUAWEI TruSense measures over sixty health and fitness indicators across the body’s six major health systems: cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, reproductive, and muscular. This provides users with a more comprehensive overview of their physiological data than ever before.

New distributed super sensor module

This year’s biggest innovation introduces a new distributed super sensor module that combines wrist and fingertip sensing for more complete health insights. The module integrates optical, electrical, acoustic, and mechanical signals to enhance measurement accuracy and speed.

The newly launched distributed module builds on last year’s version, already recognized by institutions such as the leading Swiss testing and certification body SGS for its near-accurate readings of key health metrics like blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and blood pressure risk. This year, Huawei overcame the spatial limitations of sensors located only at the base of smartwatches, using more powerful and versatile sensors in a distributed manner across different parts of the human body. The system synchronizes data collection from the wrist and other areas like the fingertips. The fingertip’s dense network of blood vessels and thinner skin naturally reduces interference from melanin and body hair, offering unique advantages, especially in cardiovascular monitoring. By combining multiple physiological data points, the system collects richer signals across multiple contact points, enabling faster and more accurate insights than previous solutions.

Oxygen saturation measurements have also improved significantly, now capable of tracking changes in real time—another important leap forward. The health review feature now evaluates over ten indicators in just sixty seconds. These rapid assessments include new metrics like heart rate variability (HRV) and ovarian function evaluation, delivering a more complete and user-centered experience.

HUAWEI WATCH 5: More details coming in May

Huawei remains committed to pushing the boundaries of digital health technology. The HUAWEI WATCH 5, thanks to continuous innovation, will debut with the upgraded HUAWEI TruSense system. Users can look forward to the futuristic smartwatch’s launch on May 15, 2025, in Berlin.
