Huawei has patented a new method to enhance the accuracy of fever detection using wearable devices. This patent is important due to the growing need for health monitoring in various everyday situations, including homes, offices, and sports activities.
Real-time Fever Detection: Huawei’s Innovative Approach in Wearables
Traditional temperature-measurement tools may not provide real-time accuracy, especially when it comes to catching early fever symptoms which can be indicative of conditions like the flu or colds. Huawei’s newly announced patent addresses this gap. It offers a method that captures a user’s temperature within a specific timeframe and then determines the presence of fever based on selected monitoring patterns.
A notable feature of this patent is its flexibility in adapting to different scenarios. The patent outlines various temperature monitoring patterns that correspond to different fever conditions. Depending on the situation, users have the option to adjust the fever threshold. For instance, in professional settings like offices, a higher fever threshold can be set to detect even mild fever symptoms early on. In contrast, during physical activities or exercise, users might opt for a lower threshold to eliminate excessive alerts that might arise due to the body’s natural temperature fluctuations.
Huawei’s approach promises to refine the accuracy of fever detection in wearables, making it more practical and reliable. As the adoption of wearable technology continues to grow, the introduction of such nuanced biometric monitoring methods can significantly enhance the health-monitoring capabilities of these devices, making them more effective tools in everyday life.
Meanwhile, back in August Huawei also patented a unique foldable phone design with asymmetrical halves, featuring a camera module on the top-left side when unfolded, serving as both front and rear-facing camera. This design allows for a single camera setup for improved image quality in various phone configurations. Huawei has not confirmed its release but could potentially introduce it as its next innovation in the foldable phone market.
