BEIJING, Sept. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Huami
Corporation ("Huami" or the "Company") (NYSE: HMI), a biometric and activity data-driven
company with significant expertise in smart wearable technology,
today announced the launch of the new generation health band,
Amazfit Health Band 1S, which delivers new features and benefits
powered by AI technologies and brings advanced heart health
monitoring capabilities to the smart wearables industry. The
Company also introduced its groundbreaking self-developed smart
wearable AI chip, Huangshan-1.
Utilizing an embedded AI algorithm, the new Amazfit Health Band
1S serves as a convenient extension of established heart health
monitoring techniques and offers a battery life of up to 7 days.
For the first time, the new band features self-developed optical
modules that provide highly accurate photoplethysmography (PPG) and
deliver continuous, real-time heart rate and heart rhythm
monitoring. The Amazfit Health Band 1S is capable of
screening the user's heart rhythm in the background and sending an
alert if an arrhythmia including atrial fibrillation is detected.
Once an arrhythmia is detected, the user is instructed to put a
finger on top of the band to start a 30 to 120 second ECG recording
process to capture detailed heart health data in real
time.
The recorded heart-related data is uploaded to the cloud and
users can access medical consultation services for this data via 24
x 7 online and phone channels. This service is provided free of
charge to registered Amazfit Health Band 1S users for the first 6
months following product purchase. Certain conditions and
restrictions apply.
"The advanced AI-based features of the new Amazfit Health Band
1S allow us to further penetrate the growing opportunity of
health-related smart wearable devices," said Wang Huang, Chairman and CEO of Huami
Corporation. "In addition, our medical consultation service for
uploaded data extends our offering beyond the device and represents
the opportunity to further utilize our vast data pool to enrich the
user experience. We are excited to see our 24 x 7 real time
arrhythmia monitoring including atrial fibrillation technology
standing in the global leading position, and believe our health
band's extended battery life feature and night-friendly
wear-ability provide users with a superior life-style fit as well
as best-in-class heart health monitoring user experience."
The Company also introduced groundbreaking technology in its
self-developed smart wearable chip, Huangshan-1. Based on Open
Instruction Set Architecture RISC-V technology developed at
UC-Berkeley, the Huangshan-1 is built with four specialized core AI
engines: Heart Biometric ID Engine, ECG Engine, ECG Pro Engine and
Arrhythmia Engine. Huangshan-1 is the first smart wearable chip
utilizing Huami's self-developed AON (Always On) Technology, which
can automatically transfer sensor data to the smart wearable's SRAM
inside the chip while making data storage faster and more stable.
In addition, the neural networks acceleration module can compute AI
tasks locally (offline). The high performance and low power
consumption characteristics of RISC-V make it perfect for smart
wearable technology.
"Our smart wearable AI chip Huangshan-1 will enhance our
products and differentiate our users' experience in the future,"
said Wang Huang. "We believe the
combination of our AI chip and our AI Cloud technology will further
empower the smart wearable industry."
The Amazfit Health Band 1S is available online at JD.com, Tmall,
and Pinduoduo, and is widely available in stores with suggested
retail price at RMB699.
