The “Internet of Bodies” (IoB), as an extension of the Internet of Things (IoT), is gradually emerging as a new focal point in the healthcare sector. By connecting the human body with digital technologies, it enables the collection, analysis, and application of health data, offering new possibilities for personalized healthcare services. With growing public health awareness and continuous advancements in IoT technology, the IoB is progressively shaping the future of the healthcare industry.
Awei: Leading the New Era of the "Body Internet"
Recently, Shenzhen Ewell Information Technology Co., Ltd. launched two new wearable medical devices at the CMEF exhibition in Shenzhen on October 12, aiming to meet the urgent market demand for blood oxygen and blood pressure monitoring. These two devices not only enrich Ewell’s product portfolio but also demonstrate the company’s R&D capabilities and market insights in the field of the “Body Area Network.”
Product Highlights
Continuous Blood Oxygen Monitoring Watch: This watch is equipped with advanced pulse oximetry technology, providing continuous and accurate blood oxygen saturation monitoring. It is an indispensable health management tool for patients with sleep apnea syndrome and users with pulmonary diseases.
Blood Pressure Monitoring Watch: This watch utilizes 4G communication technology to not only monitor users' blood pressure and activity data in real time, but also provide remote health guidance via a cloud platform. It is an ideal choice for users requiring long-term blood pressure monitoring.
Innovative Technology
According to Zhu Hongjia, founder of iMicro, the medical-grade smartwatch launched by the company differs significantly in design from traditional smartwatches:
LowPower Consumption Architecture: Through an innovative dual-system design, the watch achieves a battery life of 4–5 days while storing 1,440 data points daily and maintaining 4G connectivity, effectively addressing the critical battery-life challenges faced by wearable devices.
Standard 4G Communication Function: Thanks to the reduced cost of mobile data, the standard 4G connectivity enables the smartwatch to interact directly with the cloud independently of a smartphone, which is particularly suitable for middle-aged and elderly users, lowering their barrier to adoption.
Obtaining Class II Medical Device Certification: After two years of effort, iMicro has gradually obtained Class II medical device certifications for its blood pressure and blood oxygen monitoring devices. Rigorous clinical certification ensures the accuracy of the monitoring data.
Coverage of 100+ Data Types: By leveraging built-in multi-sensor arrays and Bluetooth connectivity, Eiwei smartwatches can capture hundreds of physiological metrics, including blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, electrocardiogram (ECG), body fat, and blood lipids. The device has also accumulated data across new dimensions such as air quality, body fat percentage, and galvanic skin response. These data can be transmitted directly to industry users’ cloud platforms via Eiwei’s data interfaces. This allows users to focus solely on data analysis and operations, eliminating the need to reinvent the wheel.
AI Interaction Introduction: Given that smartwatches are the devices in closest proximity to the human body, Eiwell has integrated advanced AI models into its watches to provide interactive health consultations and recommendations. Additionally, Eiwell offers proprietary algorithms for specific data metrics, thereby reducing customers’ need for developing basic algorithms. For instance, recently launched algorithms such as atrial fibrillation screening, exercise recommendations, fall risk assessment, and PPG-based Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) insights have been widely acclaimed by industry clients.
Conclusion
To date, Aiwei has provided hardware-software integration services to more than 200 clients worldwide, spanning sectors such as internet healthcare, wellness and elderly care, and telecommunications operators. The company plans to expand its client base to 2,000 within the next two years. Looking ahead, Aiwei will continue to launch products in diverse forms, offer richer data dimensions, and remain committed to serving as a robust data pipeline for the “Internet of Bodies,” delivering exceptional products to global health and wellness industry customers.
