Tech giant Huawei just took a serious step into the health and fitness space, with the launch of its new Health Lab in Helsinki, Finland. As well as being set up to research performance metrics of more than 20 different sports, the new lab will help the brand deepen its research into its wearables’ health tracking.
We all rely on our fitness trackers for a lot more than just counting our steps — in a survey conducted by Huawei and Ipsos of over 8,000 people, 92% said they want to improve at least one aspect of their lifestyle when it comes to their health. Whether it’s drinking more water, or getting more deep sleep, fitness trackers have come a long way over the past decade, helping users gain insights into their overall health. On top of that, 50% of people surveyed said they were unhappy with their current physical fitness levels. As well as monitoring fitness, trackers have the potential to inspire people to move more and make healthier decisions.
