Singapore brand BUZUD, Fosun Trade Medical Device, a leading manufacturer of medical appliances, has announced its next-generation smartwatches DM01 and DM02 that can detect blood oxygen levels and monitor sleep quality with its SpO2 technology.

The feature-rich smartwatches have highly sensitive sensors that provide accurate health data insights, for both consumers actively seeking to manage their wellness and health conditions, and for fitness enthusiasts, according to a press release.

SpO2 Oximeter Sensor detects sleep apnea

Developed together with medical professionals, the DM01 and DM02 have been validated in clinical studies and tested on 3,000 people in a clinical trial conducted by doctors. The SpO2 oximeter sensor measures oxygen saturation levels while the user is still or sleeping. The measurement of the percentage of oxygen in the blood, and sleep patterns help to determine if there is a dip in oxygen levels during sleep—which can mean a condition called sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder where breathing is interrupted briefly and repeatedly.

“Our DM01 and DM02 smartwatches enable the optimal monitoring of consumers’ health, unlocking the innovative ability to alert users that they might have sleep apnea, paving the way to help people better track and manage their health,” said Mr. Frankie Fan, founder, CEO and CTO of BUZUD, Fosun Trade Medical Device.

“These feature-rich smartwatches place powerful monitoring capabilities in a small form factor accessible on a wrist. Our innovations strive to help even more people manage their wellness and reach their fitness goals faster,” added Mr. Fan.

Both watches showcase a sleek silhouette, with a variety of looks that allow users to express their unique individuality. The watches provide comprehensive health insights by monitoring in real-time blood pressure, blood oxygen level, heart rate, body temperature, and sleep pattern data. Other features include measuring the number of steps done, the distance covered and calories burned.

Designed with health and fitness in mind, the watches support 24 different sports modes to provide additional opportunities for fitness activities, with customizable functions that include training workouts, social apps support, and other information prompts.

Health and workout tracking

The DM02 smartwatch is the brand’s most advanced health and fitness tracker with a high-definition, 1.69” IPS (in-plane switching) full-color touchscreen and customizable watch face and strap colors.

The DM01 smartwatch is an affordable and versatile smartwatch for users who want an easy-to-use device with key features. Equipped with a color screen and responsive button, the stylish and customizable watch face allows consumers to stay focused on their health and fitness goals.

Both DM01 and DM02 provide insights into wellbeing through a Health Metrics dashboard by transmitting data via a Bluetooth 4.0 connection to a mobile app on both Android and iOS. This dashboard provides insights into health data and can help identify any changes in sleep patterns that can be caused by a lack of sleep or increased stress levels.

Through the Bluetooth connection, the DM01 and DM02 smartwatches support the receiving of text messages and call alerts from the mobile phone.
