Chinese tech powerhouse Huawei, in its growing support for the development of smart health and fitness wearable devices, has opened its largest health lab yet. The Huawei Health Lab facility is located in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, China is the culmination of investment to the tune of 200 million yuan ($) by Huawei in support of research and development of smart wearables.

The latest Huawei Health Lab facility is the company’s largest of such labs and will support up to 80 simulation tests covering the entire gamut of the development of smart wearables. The facility will house Huawei’s important R&D teams carrying out cutting-edge research into human health and fitness in tandem with the development of Huawei’s smart wearable products. The new lab adds much-needed capacity and potential to Huawei’s existing lab in Xi’an, China which focuses on innovative applications for health and fitness.

In a statement released by Huawei, it says the new Huawei Health Lab aims to become a world-class health and fitness technology institute dedicated to products, standards, certifications, and industry incubation activities. The state-of-the-art Huawei Health Lab facility will support the research and development of new wearable technologies for expanded and robust health monitoring. The plateau blood oxygen simulation laboratory inside the new facility is capable of replicating high-altitude environments to provide groundbreaking tests on oxygen levels saturation and its impact on body functions.

The Huawei Health Lab has all the facilities needed to observe and measure body changes at different altitudes under different climatic conditions. The quantum of data generated from the laboratory is bound to drive cutting-edge research and development of wearable products that Huawei says are critical for health and fitness monitoring. In addition, the health and fitness incubation area of the facility allows for all-scenario simulation of health experiences and services, including micro-physical examination, digital sports, and home fitness, according to the company.

Huawei hopes its massive investment in the Health Lab will drive its development of innovative wearables which are increasingly becoming a critical health gadget for all segments of the population. The company also provided a video tour and images of the magnificent 4,680 square meters Health Lab in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, China.
