The Redmi Watch 5 Active does not specifically mention using dedicated sensors for menstrual cycle tracking. Instead, it offers period cycle monitoring as part of its health features, which likely relies on user input and possibly some general health metrics like heart rate and sleep patterns to provide insights into menstrual cycles[1][4]. Unlike some advanced wearables that use temperature sensors for precise cycle tracking, the Redmi Watch 5 Active does not have such specialized sensors for this purpose[3][7]. It focuses more on general health monitoring, including heart rate, SpO2, stress, and sleep tracking, which can indirectly support menstrual health tracking by providing a broader view of the user's physiological state[2][4].
For precise menstrual cycle tracking, devices like the Galaxy Watch5 series use infrared temperature sensors to monitor skin temperature during sleep, which helps in predicting menstrual cycles and ovulation dates[3]. However, the Redmi Watch 5 Active does not incorporate such advanced temperature sensing technology for menstrual cycle tracking.
In summary, while the Redmi Watch 5 Active supports menstrual cycle tracking, it does not utilize specific sensors like temperature sensors for this purpose. Instead, it likely relies on user input and general health metrics to assist in tracking menstrual cycles.
