Mike Yeung added that the company is already partnering with Alivecor in the US. Alivcor is a renowned manufacturer of ECG sensors. It is the first company to release an ECG sensor for the Apple Watch that has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Our greatest achievement is, firstly, the ECG, and secondly, the study of sleep. We are going to continue to improve them further, and then we will monitor blood pressure and blood glucose levels. We’re also pretty optimistic based on current progress with glucose monitoring. It was not easy, but now we are confident that we can do it.
