Mobvio, the Beijing-based smart wearable company has announced a new smartwatch co-developed with CardieX, a global health tech company. The company claims its latest fitness tracker, the TicWatch GTH Pro, can measure a person’s long-term arterial health.

Mobvio claims to achieve this with their new “Arty Heart Health” analytics platform that measures central arterial waveforms. Simply put, it measures the strength of your pulse to accumilate data reguarding the heart health of the user.

The GTH Pro has two optical heart rate sensors. One of these sensors measures heartrate from the wrist and another that’s located on the side of the watch. The side mounted sensor is there so users can place a finger on the sensor to take daily readings, similar to an EKG smartwatch.

Based on the daily readings, the watch provides the user with an “Arty Score” which is representative of their overall cardiac health. The TicWatch GTH Pro uses four metrics to determine this score which are xercise capacity, estimated arterial age, heart stress, and heart rate. Exercise capacity refers to blood flow to the heart, while arterial age is based on how “stiff” your arteries are. Meanwhile, heart stress is based on pulse pressure.

The company claimes that when users use the fitness tracker for long terms, it’ll give personalised recommendations based on the user’s metrics which can range form advice to be more physically active to adding more Vitamin C in your diat.

Outside of fitness tracking of 14 actives, SPO2 and sleep tracking, the GTH Pro can continuously monitor skin temperature as well as respiration rate. The device can last for about 7-10 days on a single charge and takes around two hours to completly recharge. The device also offers a 5 ATM water resistance. The watch comes with a standard 20mm band and can easily be swapped out.

The TicWatch GTH Pro comes in graphite black and is now available from Mobvoi.com and Amazon for $99.
