Samsung loses another battle, Huawei Watch 4 can monitor Blood Sugar

Huawei is not stopping its mobile business, which shows the recent international debut of its P60 flagships. The company amazed the industry by delivering the first smartwatch with having Satellite Connectivity feature, and the new Huawei Watch 4 becomes the first to equip Blood Sugar monitoring.

According to Huawei, Huawei Watch 4 is equipped with Blood Sugar monitoring technology, via Huawei Central. This makes the Watch 4 industry’s epic innovation in the smartwatch segment at a time when dominators like Samsung and Apple putting everything in just refinements.

The report suggests that Blood Sugar monitoring data collected/generated through the smartwatch can’t be used for medical purposes. It will only collect the user data for a duration to provide an assessment of the current blood sugar health.

Once the test is done, the smartwatch’s user interface displays the feature name “hyperglycemia risk assessment”. Based on the assessment-driven label, the watch also suggests what not to do at this risk level, such as “excessive intake of high-sugar high-oil and high-fat diets may lead to increased risk of high blood sugar”.

Galaxy Watch 6

Samsung is going to unveil its next-gen flagship smartwatch lineup in July or August this year. So far, we’ve heard a lot about upcoming models but no leak or rumor talked about the Blood Sugar feature. It’s likely that the Watch 6 may skip the upgrade to Blood Sugar function.

As the company isn’t bringing Blood Sugar to Watch 6, there are just a few chances of this feature’s arrival to older models as they are not equipped with hardware/sensor. It doesn’t mean Samsung has stopped innovations as it has already started R&D and research for wearable usability.
