Education and Health

We have worked with education partners in China to aggregate high-quality basic, language, and vocational education materials targeting all age groups.

We have also connected with parents to create a comprehensive learning service platform, improving the user experience throughout all smart learning services.

HUAWEI EduCenter has now launched more than 14,000 free courses.

The HUAWEI MatePad's EduCenter offers parental control functions to help parents supervise their children's learning. Parents can arrange their children's study schedule by setting study times, usage limits, and rest reminders. Parents can manage the apps displayed on the EduCenter desktop so that children won't be distracted by non-study apps during the studying process. They can also lock AppGallery to prevent children from downloading unnecessary apps.

In advanced settings, parents can set a parental control password to prevent children from modifying parental control settings or from exiting EduCenter during studying, effectively turning their MatePad into a dedicated educational device. The HUAWEI MatePad for education comes equipped with innovative functions such as Multi-Window, App Multiplier, and Multi-Screen Collaboration. These features take full advantage of the MatePad's large screen to improve studying efficiency and create an innovative smart experience.

Huawei's DigiTruck is a shipping container that has been converted into a mobile digital classroom. The 12-meter classroom is equipped with smart devices like laptops, LED screens, VR glasses, smartphones, and routers. The entire truck is solar-powered, so classes can be held in remote areas with poor power grid access. It usually stays in one place for a month, providing free learning resources and online classes, supporting rural teacher training, helping young people find jobs, and providing students with the opportunity to visit world heritage sites online.

In 2019, Huawei signed a memorandum of cooperation with UNESCO East Africa, aimed at improving digital skills and AI capabilities for the benefit of Africans through online education. Both parties will cooperate on the development and deployment of Huawei DigiTruck, regional forums and events, digital skills research, and so on, helping improve the AI and digital technology capabilities of East African countries and meet the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) sooner.

In July 2020, Huawei Consumer Cloud Service launched the Shining-Star · Navigation Project, alongside comprehensive upgrades to HMS Core capabilities.

The HMS App Innovation Contest encourages innovation among global app developers. In July 2020, Huawei set up a special US$1 million innovation prize for the contest, encouraging developers to bring new seamless AI life experiences to users in over 170 countries and regions.

The HMS App Innovation Contest also offers a Best Social Impact App prize, which encourages developers to create apps that bring positive impacts in health, education, science, transport, economic development, environmental protection, philanthropy, social resource allocation, and so on, in order to facilitate everyone's access to a digital life.

According to data from the World Health Organization, 19 million children in the world suffer from visual impairment, of which 70%–80% of cases are preventable or treatable. Most vision disorders occur before the age of five, but only one third of these children receive timely treatment.

Huawei cooperated with the Spanish medical research institute IIS Aragon and the startup DIVE Medical in 2019 to jointly launch TrackAI, which uses Huawei smart apps and AI technology to provide automatic, quick, and accurate vision testing for children aged as young as six months.

TrackAI is currently conducting further AI algorithm training in China, Spain, Vietnam, Mexico, Russia, and other countries in order to continuously optimize its machine learning model to obtain more accurate results.

Excessive stress can cause physical and mental discomfort and affect long-term health. Huawei wearables use TruRelaxTM to provide 24/7 heart rate monitoring to help users monitor their physical and mental well being. When combined with breathing exercises, this can help relieve stress.

More than 60% of China's Internet users suffer vision problems due to blue light or radiation. Blue light causes dry eyes and fatigue, and can even damage the retina and cause blindness in severe cases. The Eye Comfort Mode was designed to reduce blue light radiation. In this mode, display colors are adjusted to be warmer and gentler, relieving eye fatigue and protecting vision.

Huawei wearables equipped with TruSleepTM 2.0 can monitor sleep quality throughout the night. Through heart rate and breathing monitoring and big data analysis, six categories of common sleep problems can be identified and over 200 sleep improvement suggestions and personalized sleep services can be offered to help users sleep soundly every night.

HUAWEI Smart Scale includes the HUAWEI TruFitTM body composition analysis algorithm, jointly developed with the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. It generates comprehensive body composition reports telling you where your body fat is stored and offers guidance through comparison with data from the broader population.

The Health app, paired with Huawei smart wearables, solves difficulties such as early arrhythmia screening, as well as diagnosis, and predicts the risk of atrial fibrillation, helping users intervene early and actively manage their heart health.
