admin Finland’s Health & Fitness sector has upgraded with the launch of Huawei’s new Health Lab located in Helsinki . The tech giant unveiled the lab on October 26. The facility adds to the two Chinese health research centers in Xi’an and Songshan Lakes.
The laboratory is at almost 1000 square metres and is equipped with a diverse range of world class sports equipment covering over 20 types of sports. Based on the reports generated, each area will showcase Huawei’s wearable sports and fitness algorithms in real life applications. At the same time, these will serve as open research platforms that contribute to technological research, detection and verification, standards R&D and industry incubation.
Acknowledging the growing need in the health and fitness market, Huawei has pledged to deepen its research in health monitoring algorithms through its wearable technologies. This led to the establishment of three Huawei Health Labs across the globe since 2016: Xi’an and Songshan Lakes in China, and now one in Helsinki of Finland.
Huawei Health Lab in Finland is staffed with a multidisciplinary scientific research team comprising of 6 Doctors in Science (PhD), 20 experts from 5 major fields – physiology, AI, machine learning, software testing, and software engineering – across 7 EU countries. This assures that every area of sports and health research reaches the world’s advanced standards.
“This lab shows Huawei’s commitment to health and sports science research,” said Rico Zhang, President of the Smart wearable and health product line, on stage. Zhang touched upon the mission of the lab, which comes primarily as a research and development center but also as an “industry incubator.”
