On November 14, the Qwen app's "Health Record" launched "Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) Integration." After a user authorizes the connection, blood glucose data can be synced 24/7, allowing them to view blood glucose curves, time-based readings, and daily overviews. Qwen then analyzes blood glucose changes based on personal factors such as diet, exercise, and sleep, and provides health insights such as "staying up late can raise blood glucose" and "short-term peaks may be caused by major emotional swings."
For example, when a user notices a rising trend in blood glucose in the evening, Qwen can take into account that the user has recently been doing strength training. After confirming that the workout period matches the period when blood glucose rose, it can explain that this may be because training consumed glycogen in the muscles, causing a short-term blood glucose fluctuation. It can also use later readings to point out that blood glucose is relatively stable at night, and suggest keeping up the exercise habit and paying attention to post-workout nutritional supplementation.
Diet, sleep, emotions, and other factors can also cause blood glucose fluctuations. For example, if a user is trying to lose weight and control portion size, and often has congee and steamed buns for lunch, Qwen can connect this to its analysis of the user's post-meal blood glucose trend, remind the user to avoid foods with a high glycemic index (GI), and offer specific suggestions for adjusting staple foods and food pairings. Regarding sleep, Qwen will also take the user's recent sleep condition into account and provide advice on adjusting sleep habits and follow-up observation. If it detects abnormal changes in blood glucose and the user has previously chatted about something likely to trigger emotional swings, Qwen will include emotional factors in the analysis and suggest retesting in a relaxed state for comparison.
In addition to continuous glucose monitors, users can also connect smart watches, fitness bands, and other devices in Qwen's "Health Record," or record health information such as medical history and allergies, and receive personalized health analysis and health summary push notifications based on this. Before a medical visit, users can ask Qwen to use the Health Record to organize recent physical changes and key issues to discuss with the doctor, improving communication efficiency during consultations.
It is reported that Qwen has integrated five authoritative medical knowledge bases, covering the People's Medical Publishing House Medical Professional Knowledge Base, drug label data from the China Drug Regulatory Data Center, NutriData—a database co-built with the Chinese Nutrition Society, the latest clinical guidelines and expert consensus, and tens of millions of pieces of medical literature, providing professional support for health insights and recommendations.
