The new Huawei Watch 4 has a feature to measure blood glucose that is non-invasive and is capable of doing so without the use of additional hardware. The information was reported by site Gizmochina, where the new Huawei Watch 4 is said to be able to tell you your blood sugar level in just 60 seconds. This is possible through an analysis of 10 health indicators and the company arrived at this result through a survey and partnership with important medical institutions.

According to Huawei, to reach the desired result with the Watch 4, offering accurate measurements, rigorous tests were carried out with more than 800 thousand measurements of blood sugar levels during 100 thousand hours. To use the new functionality, the user must participate in a health research program that is conducted by a third-party medical institution, and must be over 18 years of age.

Note that even though it is capable of taking measurements to tell a person’s blood sugar level, the Huawei Watch 4 is not considered a medical device. The user should consider the information as a reference only. In the case of those with type 1 diabetes, the company does not recommend using this technology, as the pancreas does not have insulin.

Type 2 diabetics can benefit from the Huawei Watch 4’s blood sugar monitoring feature. Note that initially this feature will only be offered in the Chinese market, ie the information will be displayed in Mandarin.
