London-hosted Galaxy Unpacked 2026 saw Samsung lay out a digital health strategy built on three pillars—everyday behavior, clinical trust and AI—to push care from reactive treatment toward preventive, personalized support.
Dr. Hon Pak said the plan targets two “missing miles” in health: continuous detection outside clinics and daily follow-through after diagnosis, with Samsung positioning wearables, phones and partners to bridge both gaps.
Samsung tied that vision to products and partnerships: Samsung Health and Samsung Food aim to turn nutrition data into easier meal choices, while iFIT programs and Galaxy Watch metrics feed personalized workout guidance.
Clinical adoption remains central, with Samsung citing NHS collaborations, hospital studies in Spain and Italy on cardiovascular risk and cancer survivorship, plus privacy safeguards including Knox, GDPR-compliant infrastructure and pseudonymized trial data.
Samsung’s longer-term bet is on health foundation models that read biosignals such as ECG, ACC and PPG to deliver earlier predictions and continuous insights, framing AI as the engine of connected preventive care.
