Samsung will contribute to improving people’s well-being through its wearable devices and creating a “circle of care.”
MADRID, April 26. (Portaltik/EP) –
Samsung shared his vision “even further leverage” its wearables ecosystem and its continuous monitoring technologies to drive socially driven changes in users’ healthy lifestyles based on creating a “circle of care” with family and friends.
The company organized a meeting at which members from Samsung Health Advisory Council discussed future of user health And How Wearable devices with artificial intelligence (AI) will play an important role in the development of the industry.
As such, healthcare experts including Hong Park, Senior Vice President and Director of Samsung Electronics’ MX Business Digital Health Group, weighed in on how Samsung can “strategically leverage artificial intelligence,” with a particular focus on its upcoming wearables portfolio.
Currently, Samsung wearables, such as smartwatches, Samsung Galaxy Watch, Allows you to track and retrieve daily health data users such as heart rateHe blood oxygen, sleep qualitybreathing recording and even body composition. This latest feature available on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 allows you to measure the amount of water, fat percentage and muscle tissue in the body using Bioactive sensor.
As they explained in a statement on their blog, at the health level Daily life log data collected from wearable devices may cause useful in healthcare and clinical managementas they allow us to understand the full context of each individual’s health history.
In fact, the director of the Samsung Artificial Intelligence Research Center at Samsung Medical Center (SAIC), Myung Jin Chung, emphasized that AI can help doctors by making it easier to manage and interpret information collected over time. That is, by showing daily monitoring data that has already been interpreted, it simplifies the analysis process and helps provide information to identify possible problems.
“These AI-powered tools can Easily convert data into consumable information and actionable insights.letting people take preventive measures to reduce potential health risks“, agreed Michael Blum, chief executive and co-founder of medical analytics platform BeeKeeper AI.
“CIRCLE OF CARE” WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS

However, as Bloomberg reported in 2022, Samsung continues studying the development of technology allowing non-invasive glucose monitoringsomething you do with your Galaxy ringwhich has already been shown at Mobile World Congress 2024 and is expected to be unveiled in July.
