New Rumored Coming Features Coming to Amazfit and Mi Band Mini Episode #3 - a podcast by AquaBlack

Flow of the Podcast: New Feature: Temperature Tracking for both Mi band and Amazfit, New Feature: Temperature Tracking for both Mi band and Amazfit, How exactly Temperature Tracking works, Potentially new feature of Blood Oxygen for Mi Band 5, How Blood Oxygen Works, Final Thoughts & what features I want to see

Temperature Tracking Feature: The Mi Band 5, Amazfit Band 5, and even older Mi Band devices which includes the Mi band 2, Mi band 3, and Mi Band 4 could get Temperature Tracking. Source code found in Mi Fit app has pointed to this being a possible reality, but recently AndroidTRhas confirmed this to be a likely possibly

How can this be done? As you there is no hardware that supports this feature, at the moment, so how exactly will Xiaomi & Huami do this? The potential temperature tracking feature in the Smart Bands utilize the Continuous heart rate monitoring, they rely on pulse measurements, if you are sick or have a fever that would contribute to a rise in heart rate. The bands use the Liebermeister’s rule that says a 1 degree rise in body temperature equates to 8 beats per minute. We have seen tech stepping in to aid with the COVID Pandemic, Google and Apple have created a partnership for contact tracing. So, I’d imagine this temperature monitoring feature would serve the purpose of COVID detection

Blood Oxygen Feature for Mi Band 5: One of you guys commented asking if I could see the Mi Band 5 potentially getting “Blood Oxygen SP02” as a feature via a firmware upgrade. My initial response was probably not because perhaps the Mi band 5 doesn’t have the hardware and because it could be used as a good selling point for the Mi Band 6 so financially it would make more sense to hold off. I now have more thoughts given how temperature tracking might be a new feature added to older Mi Bands and now I know exactly how the Blood Oxygen Feature in the Amzfit Band 5 Works

How can this be done? Firstly the Blood Oxygen Sensor on the AmazfitBand 5 works using something called OxygenBeats which is AI created by Huami the parent company. The new sensor that is in the AmazFit Band 5 coupled with the OxygenBeats AI gives birth to the Blood Oxygen Sensor which is actually accurate compared to finger saturation. Which that all being said I don’t think Mi Band 5 will get the feature via a firmware update because the Blood Oxygen sensor uses more than just software to work, it uses the new sensor in the Amazfit Band 5

Final Thoughts: I like that Mi band and Amazfit Band users will potentially get Temperature Tracking, I think it is a very important feature given the times we are in. I want to potentially one day see Amazfit or Mi band series to have NFC and GPS. It would be so cool to pay for products with my watch or Go for a run without my Smartphone. And for the Mi Band series I think they should definitely have voice support and Blood Oxygen
