Pulse wave arrhythmia analysis

Pulse wave arrhythmia analysis uses the high-precision PPG sensor on your wearable device to screen for abnormal heartbeat rhythms.

 
  • This feature is only available in certain markets.
  • Measurement data and results are for reference only and are not intended for medical use.

Activating the app

  1. Before everything, download the latest version of Huawei Health from HUAWEI AppGallery, or update the installed Huawei Health app to its latest version.
  2. Access the home screen of Huawei Health, go to Heart > Pulse wave arrhythmia analysis, and activate the Pulse wave arrhythmia analysis feature.

Taking measurements on your wearable device

If your wearable device supports the ECG feature, use the ECG app to perform measurements.

  1. Double-check that your wearable device is worn properly, and place your forearm flat on a table or on your laps, with your arms and fingers relaxed.
  2. Enter the device app list and go to Pulse wave arrhythmia analysis > Measure.
  3. Keep still and wait till the measurement is complete, then view your result on the wearable screen. You can touch to check out result description. For more details, access the home screen of Huawei Health on your phone and go to Heart > Pulse wave arrhythmia analysis.

Enabling automatic measurements and reminders

  1. Access the home screen of Huawei Health, go to Heart > Pulse wave arrhythmia analysis, and touch in the upper right corner and then Automatic measurement.
  2. Toggle the switch for Automatic arrhythmia detection on or off. Once enabled, your wearable device will automatically perform measurements while it's worn.

    You can toggle the switch for Arrhythmia alerts on or off as needed. Once enabled, you'll receive alerts via your wearable when abnormal heartbeat rhythms are detected.

 
  • During measurements, if your heartbeat rhythm is detected as abnormal, a prompt will pop up on your wearable device. If you are wearing a device that supports ECG, you will be reminded to measure your ECG.
  • Alerts will only be sent when the proportion of abnormal results is high from multiple measurements, to avoid unnecessary concerns. The wearable will vibrate, turn on its screen, and display a pop-up alert while you're awake. If it detects that you're asleep, only a pop-up alert will display.

Disabling the service

Access the home screen of Huawei Health, go to Heart > Pulse wave arrhythmia analysis, touch in the upper right corner and then About > Disable service, and follow the onscreen instructions.
