Samsung Electronics is enhancing its Privileged Health Software Development Kit (SDK) program, aiming to offer a more extensive set of tools for preventive health and encourage healthcare advancements through collaborations.
The integration of the Galaxy Watch's cutting-edge sensor technology with various platforms allows users to monitor vital signs in real time and proactively manage their health.
“Under our openness philosophy, Samsung is constructing an integrated and seamless digital healthcare ecosystem along with industry partners,” said Hon Pak, Vice President of Digital Health Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business. “We hope to provide users with a whole new suite of integrated health solutions, giving them the tools to easily manage and understand their health from their home.”
The Galaxy Watch facilitates swifter and more connected remote patient monitoring, delivering real-time data directly from users' wrists. This enables partners to monitor vital signs, alert medical teams of irregularities, and provide up-to-date information for efficient clinical management and timely emergency responses.
Biofourmis leverages the comprehensive biometric data from the Galaxy Watch to enhance its remote patient monitoring platform, providing personalized care through strategic partnerships with leading medical institutions. Similarly, Kencor Health combines the Galaxy Watch with its platform to monitor and predict hyperkalemia in chronic kidney disease patients.
For individuals with heart conditions, Medical AI software integrates advanced ECG services with the Galaxy Watch's technology to detect arrhythmia in daily life, offering smarter predictions and prompt alerts. Oova, an AI-powered women’s health and fertility platform, utilizes the Galaxy Watch's biometric data to remotely monitor hormone levels, providing more guidance through unique cycles.
In the realm of extended reality (XR), Samsung's sensor technology enables Galaxy Watch users to access immersive, therapeutic experiences from home. XRHealth, a Samsung partner, offers a virtual clinic providing physical and mental health therapy, while Healium turns heart rate data from the Galaxy Watch into immersive stories and animations to visualize stress levels.
Recognizing the importance of sleep in holistic health, Samsung focuses on creating an ideal sleep environment. This includes features like Sleep Mode, invisible LED infrared sensors, and SmartThings controls. Samsung's partnership with 3Boon1 introduces smart mattresses equipped with sensors and AI algorithms to regulate bed temperature based on vital signs, offering a personalized sleep environment in real time.
