With Huawei Watch GT 2, it is now possible to perform the SpO2 monitoring (blood oxygen saturation) and prepare better if the person has the new disease. Before, it is important to that the smartwatch did not receive the novelty for medical purposes, that is, it does not replace the medical diagnosis for the COVID-19. Therefore, the resource should only be used for a personal reference.
This monitoring is usually done by finger oximeters, where you just need to place your fingertip and in a few seconds the device displays your blood oxygen saturation data and your heart rate. The magic behind the finger oximeters is in the light, which can gather information from penetration with a finger.
A finger oximetry is already used by people who already have lung diseases. Therefore, the equipment can also be very useful to follow the first signs of COVID-19. But how can this work on the smartwatch of Huawei? See below.

A COVID-19 It is a disease that strongly affects the lungs of the human being. With difficulty breathing, consequently, you will have reduced oxygen level in your blood. like the Huawei Watch GT 2 can monitor the SpO2 similar to finger oximeters, the watch can help, especially, those people with suspected infection by the new coronavirus.
Therefore, having the information SpO2 can help the doctor (even from a distance) to provide the appropriate recommendation to the possible infected person. Of course he must assess for other symptoms first, which are: cough, fever, difficulty breathing and chills.
As explained by Huawei, the update is yet another resource to help with the “healthy lifestyle”. The company explains that the smartwatch has a dedicated sensor for SpO2 and the owners can activate the test through the menu, analyzing the calculation of the percentage of hemoglobin saturated with oxygen.
The percentages of SpO2 may vary depending on several factors. According to World Health Organization (WHO), the rates considered ideal for a healthy person are around 90% and 100%. Variations occur, for example, with people with a history of snoring, or when you are in high altitude regions (Machu Picchu and Lhasa, for example), which can cause low levels of oxygen saturation. It is also common in people who are under severe tension, with stress, whether personal or professional.
If the device has less than ideal levels, it is recommended that the person look for a medical unit so that the health professional can carry out a complete diagnosis.
