When HUAWEI released the HUAWEI WATCH D it raised the bar for health and fitness wearables. And now HUAWEI has raised the bar even higher with the second generation, the brand new HUAWEI WATCH D2. It delivers revolutionary blood pressure management and its premium design is even more comfortable and desirable than before.

The HUAWEI WATCH D2 is an exceptional health and fitness tracker, and its blood pressure monitoring features could well be life-changing. That's because hypertension, the medical name for high blood pressure, is one of the most common chronic health conditions worldwide – and the HUAWEI WATCH D2 is designed to help you identify and manage it.

That's important because hypertension can be really bad for you, as it can can increase the risk of heart, kidney and brain diseases. And although it's believed that between one in three and one in four of us have hypertension, nearly half of the people who haven't been diagnosed. By providing effortless, accurate, medically improved blood pressure monitoring, the HUAWEI WATCH D2 can help you identify any potential issues and get the assistance you need from your healthcare provider.

A smarter, easier way to check your blood pressure anytime, anywhere

You've probably encountered one of the big problems with traditional blood pressure monitors: they're really, really big. Blood pressure monitoring uses a technique called oscillometry, which inflates a large arm cuff to increase the pressure and then detects the changes in your pulse as the bag inflates. It's effective, but it's awkward and isn't exactly discreet. And because it's not something you're going to want to do regularly throughout your day, it doesn't always detect potentially significant changes.

That's why the HUAWEI WATCH D2 takes a smarter approach. It uses the same technique as hospital blood pressure monitors: Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring, or ABPM for short. Instead of infrequent readings it takes regular ones, and instead of a huge arm cuff it has a miniature air bag that's one-fifth the size of traditional cuffs. 

That enables you to get regular, discreet readings as you go about your day – and that in turn means better accuracy and detection, because you're taking more measurements. Your HUAWEI WATCH D2 even tracks your blood pressure while you sleep.

According to UK cardiovascular health expert Professor Gregory Lip, “The integration of advanced health monitoring features, especially ABPM, in everyday wrist-worn devices like the Huawei Watch D2 is revolutionising how we approach personal health and disease prevention.”

Your HUAWEI WATCH D2 doesn't just record your blood pressure. It analyses the readings too, thanks to the innovative HUAWEI TrueSense system, which is based on HUAWEI's decade-long research into cutting-edge health technology. The WATCH D2 uses intelligent algorithms, including the Fusion Blood Pressure Algorithm, to give you the insights you need whether you're managing hypertension or just want to identify potential risks.

And of course the HUAWEI WATCH D2 doesn't limit itself to your blood pressure. It can measure nine different body indicators with a single tap, and its health risk analysis covers a wide range that includes your heart rate, blood oxygen, stress level, skin temperature, ECG, vascular elasticity, pulse wave arrhythmia and sleep apnea. Whether you're tracking workouts and fitness goals or just monitoring your everyday health and fitness, the HUAWEI WATCH D2 delivers all the information you need – easily and instantly.

The smarter watch for sports

In addition to its cutting-edge health monitoring, the HUAWEI WATCH D2 is also a superb sports watch. It supports over 80 different exercise and sport modes including running, walking, cycling and even mountain climbing, and it has automatic detection of the six most popular sporting activities. Not only that, but it's pinpoint GNSS positioning and data-driven workout evaluations record every aspect of your workout so you can analyse your performance and your progress at any time.

The HUAWEI WATCH D2 is also designed to help with your everyday life, with task tracking not just for exercise but for diet, sleep, weight and stress too. It's the perfect partner to help you with healthier habits.

Style as well as substance

The HUAWEI WATCH D2 is packed with health and fitness features, but it's designed to look and feel like a premium smartwatch. It features a gorgeous glossy bezel and an exquisite rotating crown for that classic watch look and feel, and its seamless body and smooth curves are sleek, dynamic and elegant. 

There are two colour options to choose from, a chic and sporty black and an elegant, sophisticated gold, and both options are available in different strap lengths to accommodate every wearer.

The new WATCH D2 has an even bigger, clearer display than before for an even better visual experience. There's a new, more colourful user interface that's a feast for the eyes, and the large, clear fonts and magazine-style layout deliver an immersive visual experience.

AI is significant for us all, not just because of its future potential, but because it’s already addressing the real-world challenges that businesses face today.

With AI, we have quickly developed a tendency to “horizon scan”, looking at hypothetical and long-term risks and opportunities way into the future. It’s easy to see why: generative AI has already had a profound impact, creating excitement and concern around new uses that stray into what was once considered science fiction.

We can, however, temper some of our worst fears by recognizing AI as very much an embedded technology, to be used as and where humans dictate, rather than an unchartered territory. AI tools have already been adopted across industries, bringing benefits to businesses and wider society. Organizations are demonstrating how AI can be used in a responsible, ethical, and effective way, showing that we know how to do “Good AI”, and that it’s now time to use “AI for Good”.

So how exactly do these real-world applications take shape, and what strategies can decision makers implement to make the most of AI?

Boosting daily productivity in the workplace

The impact of AI in streamlining current workplace ecosystems is undoubted. However, the challenge – and opportunity – lies in communicating this effectively to decision makers and key stakeholders across the organization, for more effective by-in.

The variety of AI tools now offer ways to optimize workflows across almost every conceivable industry. From HR onboarding and training to quickly develop new skills, to automating repetitive or tedious tasks allowing workers to focus on the most rewarding parts of our jobs. AI is fundamentally redesigning how we work.

For example, AI has overhauled the approach to cross-industry work processes in manufacturing, construction, and critical infrastructure. From streamlining data analysis and improving feedback mechanisms, to integrating AI laterally across other technologies such as drones and sensors, businesses can optimize for worker safety and efficiency.

The human touch will always be needed, however, to guide how AI can provide value. Operations managers can move workers from dangerous environments, to focus on safe, high value tasks that improve overall productivity and guide embedded tools. Due to the higher value output that AI enables, new pathways to reskill and upskill are unlocked, perpetuating productivity for the long-term.

Utilizing AI to improve sustainability practices

Through growth, digitalization has become a more embedded part of operational strategy, subsequently increasing the profile of sustainability goals. AI helps businesses monitor and report on pollution and emission levels, offering predictive insights into the pathways available avoid poor decisions and improve their footprint, such as through the mapping of potential carbon sinks.

AI analysis is the cornerstone for organizations to improve renewable energy operations and reduce output in a more effective way. When integrated into a wider network of in-the-field sensors and touchpoints, AI becomes an advanced central nervous system – providing proactive, reactive and mitigating feedback for decision makers.

Ultimately, comprehensive data analysis unlocks access to strategies that address sustainability challenges. For example, over 12% of CO2 emissions are as a result of deforestation and environmental fires. Therefore, implementing AI tools enables governments and non-government institutions to paint an enhanced picture of ecological landscapes and map forest degradation.

Supporting the vulnerable with AI-assisted healthcare

AI has been transformative to healthcare in particular. By weaving functionality into established processes, practitioners can improve the efficiency and diagnosis rate of illnesses, as we’ve seen with the University of Helsinki’s work into detecting brain hemorrhages. The AI solution works by assisting radiologists in interpreting CT scans to detect common non-traumatic brain bleads – simplifying improved care delivery.

By matching patterns across historic diagnoses, these solutions allow for deeper insights into complex medical issues. By working hand in hand with medical and social-care practitioners, AI supplements how critical medical data is interpreted and shared across departments. This vastly improves speed of diagnosis and effectiveness of care given.

These are important tools that have improved healthcare functions, through both protecting and uplifting vulnerable communities and supporting those that need it. The inherent benefit of the positive feedback loop AI provides allows caregivers to actively learn from experience in a more efficient way, making current initiatives resilient and long lasting.

Ensuring AI aligns with organizational needs

Businesses need to understand that AI technology will be here to stay. Strong AI strategies consider the purpose and objectives of considering AI, explaining the processes for businesses to prove value and absorb the rapid pace of change, considering the technology itself.

Implementation needs to ensure that solutions mesh effectively with IT infrastructure that’s already in place. Digitalization, digital transformation, and upgrading legacy systems, as overarching initiatives, require planning and understanding of how they will impact wider business functions.

That’s not to say it needs to be slow or cumbersome, however – one of the joys on AI is the ease with which it can put powerful new capabilities in the hands of teams. When due diligence is conducted effectively, AI integration can become the lynchpin to elevate business practices – boosting productivity, efficiency, and lowering costs. The opportunities for improvements cannot be understated, especially when looking at wider settings outside of just industrial or financial sectors.

Ultimately, overreaching when implementing AI, can create a situation where integrated tools muddy the water and dilute the effectiveness of their intended use. By looking at specific use cases, and implementing in a thoughtful and considered manner, organizations can make a tangible impact that avoids “horizon scanning”.
