At Galaxy Unpacked 2025<\/a> on July 9, Samsung Electronics unveiled its latest Galaxy Z<\/a> series devices and wearables \u2014 pushing the boundaries of foldable design and connected wellness experiences. These innovations mark the next step in the company\u2019s mission to deliver meaningful, user-centered technology, with Galaxy AI<\/a> and digital health emerging as key pillars of the journey ahead.<\/p>\n

To explore these themes further, Samsung hosted two panels at the Galaxy Tech Forum on July 10 in Brooklyn. Samsung Newsroom joined industry leaders and executives to examine how ambient intelligence and advanced health technologies are shaping the future of mobile innovation.<\/p>\n

(Panel One) The Next Vision of AI: Ambient Intelligence<\/h5>\n

The first panel, \u201cThe Next Vision of AI: Ambient Intelligence,\u201d explored how multimodal capabilities are enabling the continued evolution of AI in everyday life \u2014 blending into user interactions in ways that feel intuitive, proactive and nearly invisible. Panelists discussed the smartphone\u2019s evolving role, the importance of platform integration and the power of cross-industry collaboration to deliver secure, personalized intelligence at scale.<\/p>\n

Jisun Park, Corporate Executive Vice President and Head of Language AI Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, opened the conversation by reflecting on Galaxy AI\u2019s<\/a> rapid adoption. Since the launch of the Galaxy S25 series<\/a> in January, more than 70% of users have engaged with Galaxy AI features<\/a>. He then turned the discussion to the next frontier, ambient intelligence \u2014 AI that is deeply personal, predictive and ever-present.<\/p>\n

Samsung sees ambient intelligence as AI that is so seamlessly integrated into daily life it becomes second nature. The company is committed to democratizing Galaxy AI<\/a> to 400 million devices by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

This vision builds on insights from a yearlong collaboration with London-based research firm Symmetry, which revealed that 60% of users want their phones to anticipate needs without prompts \u2014 based on daily habits.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome see AI as the start of a \u2018post-smartphone\u2019 era, but we see it differently,\u201d said Park. \u201cWe\u2019re building a future where your devices don\u2019t just respond \u2014 they become smarter to anticipate, see and work quietly in the background to make life feel a little more effortless.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mindy Brooks, Vice President of Android Consumer Product and Experience at Google, discussed how multimodal AI is moving beyond reactive response to deeper understanding of user intent across inputs like text, vision and voice. Google\u2019s Gemini is designed to be intelligently aware and anticipatory \u2014 tuned to individual preferences and routines for assistance that feels natural.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough close collaboration with Samsung, Gemini works seamlessly across its devices and connects with first-party apps to provide helpful and personalized responses,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Vinesh Sukumar, Vice President of Product Management at Qualcomm Technologies emphasized that as AI becomes more personalized, there is more information than ever that needs to be protected.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us, privacy, performance and personalization go hand in hand \u2014 they\u2019re not competing priorities but co-equal standards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Dr. Vinesh Sukumar from Qualcomm Technologies<\/p><\/div>\n

Both Brooks and Dr. Sukumar reinforced the importance of tight integration across platforms and hardware.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur work with Samsung prioritizes secure, on-device intelligence so that users know where their data is and who controls it,\u201d said Dr. Sukumar.<\/p>\n

Moderator Sabrina Ortiz, senior editor at ZDNET, closed the session with a discussion on AI privacy. Panelists agreed that trust, transparency and user control must underpin the entire AI experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to building more agentic AI, our priority is to ensure we\u2019re fostering smarter, more personalized and more meaningful assistance across our device ecosystem,\u201d said Brooks.<\/p>\n

(Panel Two) The Next Chapter of Health: Scaling Prevention and Connected Care<\/h5>\n

The second panel, \u201cThe Next Chapter of Health: Scaling Prevention and Connected Care,\u201d focused on how technology can bridge the gap between wellness and clinical care \u2014 making health insights more connected, proactive and usable for individuals, healthcare providers and digital health solution partners. Panelists explored how the convergence of clinical data, at-home monitoring and AI is reshaping the modern healthcare experience.<\/p>\n

Health data is often siloed across systems, resulting in inefficiencies and gaps in care. Combined with rising rates of chronic illness, an aging population and ongoing clinician shortages, the result is a system under pressure to deliver timely, effective care.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Dr. Hon Pak from Samsung Electronics<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cPatients and consumers around the world are asking us to hear them, to know them, to truly understand them,\u201d said moderator Dr. Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team at Samsung Electronics. \u201cAnd I believe this is the opportunity we have with Samsung, Xealth and partners like Hinge and Advocate. Together, we are creating a connected ecosystem where healthcare can truly make a difference \u2014 not just in the life of a patient, but in the life of a person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Samsung is addressing this challenge through technological innovation and its recent acquisition of Xealth<\/a>, a leading digital health platform with a network of more than 500 hospitals and 70 digital health solution providers. Through Xealth, Samsung plans to connect wearable data and insights from Samsung Health into clinical workflows \u2014 delivering a more unified and seamless healthcare experience.<\/p>\n

Mike McSherry from Xealth<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThis (phone), plus your devices \u2014 the watch, the ring \u2014 are going to replace the standalone blood pressure monitor, the pulse oximeter, a variety of different devices,\u201d said Mike McSherry, founder and CEO of Xealth. \u201cIt\u2019s going to be one packaged solution, and that\u2019s going to simplify care.\u201d<\/p>\n

This collaboration is designed to empower hospitals with real-time insights and help prevent chronic conditions through early detection and continuous monitoring with wearable devices.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Dr. Rasu Shrestha from Advocate Health<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThe reality is that with all of the challenges that exist in healthcare, it is not any one entity that can heroically go in and save healthcare. It really takes an ecosystem,\u201d said Dr. Rasu Shrestha, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation & Commercialization Officer at Advocate Health. \u201cThat\u2019s part of the reason why I\u2019m so excited about Xealth and Samsung \u2014 and partners like us \u2014 really coming together to solve for this challenge. Because it is about Samsung enabling it. It\u2019s more of an open ecosystem, a curated ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n

The panel spotlighted the growing shift from hospital-based care to care at home \u2014 and the opportunities enabled by Samsung\u2019s expanding ecosystem of connected devices. Data from wearables, including those equipped with Samsung\u2019s BioActive Sensor technology, can provide high-quality input for AI-driven insights.<\/p>\n

Paired with Samsung\u2019s SmartThings<\/a> connectivity and wide portfolio of smart home devices, the company is uniquely positioned to support remote health monitoring and treatment from home.<\/p>\n

AI is expected to play a role in reducing clinician workload by streamlining administrative tasks and surfacing the most relevant insights at the right time. Platforms like Xealth offer users a personalized, friendly interface to access necessary information from one place for a more connected healthcare experience.<\/p>\n

Across both sessions, one theme was clear \u2014 realizing the potential of ambient intelligence and scaling prevention and connected care requires deep, cross-industry collaboration.<\/p>\n

From on-device privacy solutions like Knox Matrix to expanded integration across Galaxy devices<\/a>, Samsung and its partners are building an ecosystem that\u2019s not only intelligent but simple, secure and future-ready.<\/p>\n
