Huawei Sense G1 continuous glucose monitor, Digi Mart USA News: Huawei has published a first image of a forthcoming continuous glucose monitor (CGM) called the Huawei Sense G1, according to a report from Notebookcheck citing a post on the social network Weibo. The Chinese technology company describes the device as both “professional” and “smart” and says it is designed to monitor blood glucose levels around the clock.
According to the publisher’s report, users would receive a notification on their smartphone if blood glucose falls to an unhealthily low level or rises to a dangerously high level. The collected data can be viewed in a companion smartphone app and on compatible Huawei smartwatches, which would also display charts showing blood glucose trends over several hours and days.
Huawei notes that the collected data has a delay of 5 to 15 minutes, so it takes a short time after eating before the effects on blood glucose levels can be recorded. The monitor does not need to be removed for showering or swimming.
The needle must be replaced every two weeks, which means ongoing costs, a model the report says works in the same way as conventional continuous glucose monitors offered by other manufacturers.
According to the report, Huawei aims to distinguish the Sense G1 from competitors through integration with its HarmonyOS ecosystem and a modern design. Details on pricing and availability have not yet been confirmed.
