Samsung Embraces the Future of Connected Health at HLTH USA

At this year’s HLTH USA, our focus is on a theme that resonates deeply with our vision – "Connected Devices. Connected Services. Connected People." This year, we are excited to showcase how our deep history in technology innovation and vision to transform healthcare, will enhance the lives of people in the years ahead by empowering consumer journeys that are centered in the home, and continue as we age. 


The Power of Connected Devices

In today’s fast-paced world, the integration of technology into our daily lives has never been more crucial. At Samsung, we believe that connected devices can play a pivotal role in health by providing real-time data and insights. From our Samsung Galaxy Ring, which can easily be worn during the night to track sleep, the foundation of one’s health, to our Samsung Galaxy Watch, to our Samsung Health app, and smart home devices, our technology empowers individuals to take charge of their health like never before.


Imagine a world where your smartwatch tracks your heart rate and sends alerts when it detects anomalies, which can be shared with your healthcare provider. Or, the smart fridge in your kitchen, that offers recipe suggestions based on dietary goals, then optimizes meal options based on what is in the fridge, and integrates with your favorite online grocery delivery for items needed. This isn’t just a dream - it’s happening! By leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT), we can create ecosystems that facilitate proactive health management.


Seamless Integration of Services

At the heart of connected health is the integration of services that prioritize consumer/patient-centered care. Samsung is committed to creating seamless experiences that enhance the delivery of healthcare services. Our initiatives focus on interoperability, ensuring that data flows smoothly between devices and platforms.


By breaking down silos, we can provide an integrated view of an individual’s health. Whether it’s through advanced analytics that predict potential health issues, personal health records (PHRs), or personalized wellness plans delivered through our apps, we aim to empower individuals with the information they need to make informed decisions about their health.


Bridging Connections Among People

The theme of connectedness extends beyond devices; it encompasses the relationships we build within the healthcare ecosystem. At HLTH USA, we’re highlighting how technology fosters collaboration among patients, healthcare providers, and caregivers.


Our solutions are designed to enhance communication and support a caring community, whether through health records to better understand one’s health needs – or that of a loved one for whom they are caring for, sharing vital information with your doctor or developing new habits to improve future health outcomes. 


Looking Ahead

By harnessing the power of connected devices, fostering meaningful relationships, and integrating services, we can create a healthier, more connected world. As we participate in discussions and workshops at HLTH USA 2024 next week, and through our booth experience, we look forward to showcasing how Samsung is creating meaningful connections that inspire positive change in health and wellness. We are excited to connect with industry leaders, innovators, and healthcare professionals and together, explore the future of health and the incredible possibilities that lie ahead.
