[Huawei Developers] Martin Bieber:
Does it ever bother you that the time and effort you spent on a treadmill do not show up directly on your social media platforms? In those situations it seems that the fitness and health data has been trapped and unable to unleash its potential.

Despite this, the possibilities of what can be achieved are endless, such as syncing treadmill data to phones, keeping track of blood pressure and blood oxygen data on phones automatically, generating comprehensive analysis on the fitness and health status, and displaying the real-time pace while running...

However, the lack of a data sharing mechanism has been hindering data from flowing properly across boundaries, causing fitness and health devices and services to be data silos.

How can data sharing be implemented between hardware and software in the fitness and health field?

As fitness and health products are evolving towards being smart devices, developers are increasingly keen on resolving this issue.

HUAWEI HiHealth,

A Breakthrough in Fitness and Health Data Sharing​

Data sharing is the foundation of a sound fitness and health ecosystem involving products from a wide range of brands and categories. However, implementation is not easy, with a fine line to tread between the development cycle and cost, and requirements on secure storage, stable transmission, and privacy of large amounts of sensitive data.

The HUAWEI HiHealth open platform, which is capable of scenario-based data openness, active/standby dual-cloud disaster tolerance capabilities, PB-level data processing capabilities, and encrypted data transmission and storage that comply with EU GDPR, is an ideal solution to resolve the data sharing issue. Integrating HUAWEI HiHealth means hassle-free access to a fitness and health ecosystem that brings all the data silos together.

HUAWEI HiHealth,

Born for the Fitness and Health Field​

HUAWEI HiHealth is a capability openness platform for smart wearables and the fitness and health field as a whole. After being authorized by users, HUAWEI HiHealth can open up fitness and health capabilities in addition to providing partners with access to fitness devices, health devices, and services. HUAWEI HiHealth cooperates with partners to provide innovative, personalized services for all users.

As an important part of Huawei's full-scenario strategy, HUAWEI HiHealth is committed to becoming the middleware, connecting and activating a multitude of ecosystem devices and partners, and resolving the data challenges of the fitness and health industry.

HUAWEI HiHealth, a Boost for Software and Hardware Developers​

HUAWEI HiHealth is designed to offer powerful data sharing capabilities to both software and hardware developers, helping them expand the service boundary and improve user experience.

For Software Developers​

HUAWEI HiHealth provides multi-scenario data access to facilitate access by software developers. Each type of scenario-based data contains different combinations of data types and covers the data usage scope in the corresponding service scenario.

Fitness and workout scenarios

A. Step counting: Step counting has become a common app function and related step count data can be used for purposes such as step count rankings and bonus redemption. Typical app: Alipay.

B. Indoor exercise: Apps can check and store data generated on fitness devices, such as treadmills. Typical app: KEEP.

C. Outdoor exercise: Apps can check and store data generated on wearables, specifically watches and bands. Typical app: Codoon.

D. Fitness management: Apps provide data statistical analysis based on the user's height, weight, fitness goals, and fitness results. Typical app: RunningQuotient.

Health and medical scenarios

A．Healthy lifestyle management: Apps can learn about the health and fitness status of users. Typical app: Health Service in Shenzhen.

B． Emotion management: Apps can learn about the weight, pressure, and sleep status of users. Typical app: Yidianling Psychological Consulting Services.

C． Sleep management: Apps can learn about the weight and sleep status of users. Typical app: Small sleep (psy-1).

For Hardware Developers​

Fitness devices (such as treadmills, elliptical machines, rowing machines, and spin bikes) and health devices (such as blood pressure meters, blood oxygen meters, and body fat scales) can integrate HUAWEI HiHealth to implement the following functions:

A. Syncing data to the HUAWEI Health app in real time

B. Generating fitness data reports with diagrams

C. Saving data to the cloud securely

D. Allowing other apps to use the data, when authorized by the user

How to access HUAWEI HiHealth?​

It just takes a few simple steps to access HUAWEI HiHealth.

HUAWEI HiHealth: Simplified Development and Easy Access​

Determining the Type of API to Use​

HUAWEI HiHealth provides three types of APIs for scenario-based data openness. In addition, two profiles are provided for southbound connection with ecosystem devices. You can refer to the following figure to determine which type of API to use.

Selecting Data that You Require​

HUAWEI HiHealth divides and packages the fitness and health data openness capabilities into multiple scenario-based capabilities. You can easily deploy the capabilities on demand, which shortens the development period and reduces the cost.

Easy Access for Ecosystem Devices

Third-party ecosystem device vendors need to first apply for access to HUAWEI HiHealth via email or other suitable methods. A specialist will then be assigned to track and review the entire process. You will find all the documents you may need for development and testing from the HUAWEI HiHealth section on the HUAWEI Developers website.

Easy Access for Software Services​

Four Advantages + Simplified Development and Access

Access HUAWEI HiHealth to Benefit from a Sound Ecosystem​

HUAWEI HiHealth will be dedicated to incubating more data solutions for the fitness and health industry, thereby lifting data barriers during development. HUAWEI HiHealth will also help accelerate the innovation progress of the fitness and health industry to build an open and mutually beneficial ecosystem for all participants.
