The official Jawbone blog has confirmed what the company Huawei announced at MWC 2015. It is joining the Jawbone UP support platform through a unique partnership between the companies. At the show, it was said that the UP platform was selected as the priority health and fitness monitoring system for mobile phones and wearable devices Huawei.
What will it give? In the future, UP using the Jawbone app will be preinstalled on certain devices Huawei starting in the USA. So smartphone users Huawei will be able to immediately join the ranks of the UP-community. UP software will also be preferred for activity tracking with compatible wearables Huawei, including TalkBand series fitness and performance tracking devices.
For Jawbone, this means further growth in the user community by millions, which means the opportunity to make the platform even stronger. The news is also good news for owners of compatible devices Huawei who have easy access to the industry-leading UP app, proven behavior change tools like the Smart Coach system, and a large ecosystem of partner apps and services.
Jawbone says it remains committed to creating advanced and beautifully executed wearables, but also recognizes the value of diversity and personalization to humans. The company believes that Jawbone is capable of becoming the preferred fitness and health monitoring system for high-end devices. And also that everyone should be able to join a large community, whether they follow their results using the company's bracelet, their smartphone or other wearable device. And benefit from this experience. This is part of the openness strategy announced last September to expand the number of UP users by opening the platform.
According to Jawbone CEO Hossein Rahman, “Only then will we be able to make the Internet of Things (or, as we like, the Internet for you) a reality when we open up our systems. Therefore, partnering with Huawei is an honor for us, while it becomes their highest obligation to provide their customers with the best experience by partnering with UP '.
