The Wearable AI Chip, Huangshan-2(MHS002) Launched.

As the platinum member of RISC-V, Huami has wide-ranging technology 
accumulation and investment layout in the field of semiconductors. In 2018, 
Huami launched the world's first[2] RISC-V open-source instruction set wearable 
processor, Huangshan No.1 (MHS001), featuring four core artificial intelligence 
engines -- cardiac biometrics engine, ECG, ECG Pro, and Hearth Rhythm 
Abnormality Monitoring Engine. 

After 450 days, Huami unveils its next generation of AI chip, the Huami 
Huangshan-2(MHS002). Based on the RISC-V architecture, Huami 
Huangshan-2(MHS002) features high computing efficiency and low power 
consumption. Huangshan-2 detects atrial fibrillation 7 times faster than 
Huangshan-1 and 26 times faster than similar algorithms. Huangshan-2 also has 
on board the Always On (AON) sensor mode with ultra-low power consumption 
thanks to the NPU (Neural-network Processing Unit) and the C2 co-processor. 
Theoretically, it can reduce the overall power consumption of Huangshan 2 by 
50%, making a longer battery life for products.

Huangshan-2(MHS002) is scheduled for mass production in Q4 of 2020. New 
wearable devices equipped with the Huangshan-2 will be hopefully available on 
Huami's products in the first half of 2021.

BioTracker(TM) 2, the Second-generation PPG Bio-tracking Optical Sensor by 
Huami 

Huami has been developing its own PPG bio-tracking optical sensor in the past 
years, which are known by its high accuracy. Compared with its predecessor, the 
newly launched, BioTracker(TM) 2 supports five biological data engines 
(RealBeats(TM}, OxygenBeats(TM), SomnusCare(TM), ExerSense(TM), and 
huami-PAI(TM)), making it the most versatile and precise biosensor ever 
developed by Huami. 

Five Key Data Engines[3] Contribute to Huami's AI Health Management Platform

To let human pursue the full health rights as the most, Huami's Systematic AI 
Health Management Platform incorporate the AI chipset, Huangshan-2(MHS002), the 
new PPG sensor BioTracker(TM) 2 and also five key index and data engines.

- RealBeats(TM) 2, the advanced AI bio data engine for heart rate monitoring. 
It eliminates the noise interference to heart rate signals during workout and 
is capable of monitoring atrial fibrillation for 1.87 times as long as the last 
generation at night and 6.64 times in the day. it achieved automatic AI-based 
detection of AVRT and frequent PVC through a heart health Big Data model. 
- OxygenBeats(TM), Huami self-developed oxygen data AI engine. The success rate 
of is 100% in contrast to less than 90% seen in similar products. Compared with 
the results of professional oxygen analyzers, the average error is only 1.67%, 
reflecting accuracy superior to that of most wearable wrist devices for blood 
oxygen detection. OxygenBeats(TM) has applied to the follow-up visits with 
recovered COVID-19 patients conducted by Nanshan Zhong's medical team. Smart 
watches equipped with OxygenBeatsTM are expected to be available in Q3 of this 
year (2020). 
- SomnusCare(TM), an AI-driven biological data engine. The accuracy of sleep 
data detection exceeds 80%, and it is possible to detect naps over 25 minutes 
with nearly 100% accuracy. Furthermore, the OxygenBeatsTM, through sleep state 
analysis and blood oxygen saturation detection, can recognize the sleep apnea 
syndrome (SAS), an "invisible killer" to human health, and warn the user to 
take prompt measures. 
- ExerSense(TM), an AI recognition engine for motion patterns based on sports 
big data. This engine can match motion models in real time by detecting data 
with the motion sensor and heart rate sensor on Huami's wearables, and then 
intelligently determine the exercise mode of a user. At present, ExerSense(TM) 
can automatically detect 19 exercise modes, including walking, running, 
cycling, and swimming, which cover 95% of daily exercise scenarios of users. 
Users do not need to perform tedious manual operations, but can enjoy senseless 
selection of smart exercise modes. 
- huami-PAI(TM), an explicit PAI score that can reflect the user's heart rate 
data, together with the daily motion time and other health data, allowing users 
to monitor their workout and heart healthy status. huami-PAI(TM) can guide 
users to create highly personalized health assessment systems using private bio 
data such as age, gender, and resting heart rate. huami-PAI(TM) is based on the 
HUNT Fitness Study, which helps to reduce the cardiovascular mortality rate and 
improve life expectancy. The study, led by Professor Ulrik Wisloff at Faculty 
of Medicine of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, took 35 
years with more than 230,000 participants.

Ramesh Jain appointed the Chief Technical Advisor of Huami AI Research Institute

Mr. Wang Huang, the Company's Chairman and CEO, announced the establishment of 
Huami AI Research Institute. Ramesh Jain, a renowned AI expert, Father of 
Multimedia Computing, Professor at University of California, Irvine, and 
Founder of UCI Institute for Future Health was appointed as the chief technical 
advisor of the Huami AI Research Institute. 

In the first half of 2020, Huami has set up three joint laboratories: The Smart 
Wrist Wearable Device Joint Lab with the team of Zhong Nanshan; the Track and 
Field Joint Lab with the Chinese Athletics Association; and the Brain-Computer 
Intelligence Joint Lab with the Institute of Advanced Technology, University of 
Science and Technology of China.
