[Huawei Developers] Leaf_Leaf:
Since its release in 2018, HUAWEI HiHealth has seen continued growth globally. The platform provides open capabilities to the smart wearable, fitness, and health industries, allowing related partners to integrate with the HUAWEI Health app.

Globally, there are millions of devices connected to HUAWEI HiHealth. On top of that, an increasing number of developers are connecting to HUAWEI HiHealth as they seek to develop and publish apps that offer users great experiences while creating viable and sustainable business models. In July this year, we will see the release of HUAWEI HiHealth 5.0, an updated version of the platform that will offer even greater benefits for both consumers and developers alike.

Market-leading technology that empowers developers

For developers, who specialise in health apps, HUAWEI HiHealth has a range of technology features that allows them to create better, more intuitive apps. For example, the HUAWEI HiHealth offers highly accurate multi-dimensional motion detection models. This means it can process information from varying kinds of smart devices which can then be fed into these apps, providing users with a much more rounded and accurate fitness experience on their devices. Meanwhile, Huawei’s TruSleep™, a leading sleep analysis technology, is also integrated into the HUAWEI HiHealth, through which users are offered a sleep score and personalised recommendations via their wearable devices.

At the same time, the platform also features open capabilities across diverse scenarios, giving developers the flexibility and freedom required to create comprehensive apps that leverage health and fitness data that provide a great user experience.

HUAWEI HiHealth allows developers to build powerful apps

HUAWEI HiHealth provides capabilities in the form of a kit. For developers, connecting to HUAWEI HiHealth offers several further benefits as they seek to create compelling health and fitness applications. When developers connect their apps to HUAWEI HiHealth, they can obtain health and fitness data in collaboration with the user, as well as open abilities that allow them to offer consumers superior fitness and health guidance that is truly customized.

It provides atomized and scenario-based data through Java APIs, JavaScript APIs, and Cloud APIs. In addition, Gym Profile and Wellness Profile are used to connect to southbound fitness and health devices in the ecosystem to form an industry chain for information collection, secure storage and processing, as well as sharing. It not only provides client-side APIs - but also has server-side APIs through which apps can access the data warehouse.

Wide range of use cases for HUAWEI HiHealth

Developers can broadly leverage HUAWEI HiHealth in four different kinds of scenarios: fitness; health management; insurance; and more comprehensive apps that cover a broad range of uses and utilities.

For example, South African insurer Discovery uses wearable devices to help build better services for its customers, offering them rewards when they log exercise points. It has recently collaborated with Huawei, allowing its users to benefit from this rewards scheme through syncing their HUAWEI Health app with Discovery.

For fitness apps, HUAWEI HiHealth also allows the collection of accurate fitness data capabilities that improves the reliability of the analysis and the output – an example of this is Huawei working with running app Running Quotient to help runners and coaches improve, and Thai app Cal Daily is leveraging HUAWEI HiHealth to calculate consumers’ calories consumption by counting their steps.

Growing availability of health innovation driving next generation of apps

As the use of wearable devices continues to grow globally and consumers become ever more conscious about taking health and fitness seriously, apps that respond to these trends for tangible benefit will become increasingly popular. HUAWEI HiHealth gives developers the technology and innovation needed to create outstanding apps for health-conscious, fitness-fanatic users while also enabling them to create and sustain new business models.
