\u201cWe are committed to advancing a vision of connected care that can serve people across every stage of their health journey,\u201d said Dr. Hon Pak, Senior Vice President and Head of the Digital Health Team, Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics. \u201cOur participation in initiatives like the Medicare App Library and \u201cKill the Clipboard\u201d is strategically aligned with this vision and reflects the power of collaboration across the health ecosystem. We\u2019re particularly excited to see this vision extend to U.S. Medicare beneficiaries, an important ever-growing community that can benefit from more connected, seamless health experiences from home to hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a broad portfolio of connected devices and products spanning mobile phones, wearables, TVs, home appliances and other connected technologies, Samsung reaches millions of consumers around the world and helps connect the experiences that matter most to them. That reach creates a unique foundation for extending health beyond the traditional care setting \u2014 coupling health insights and resources so people can make more informed decisions about their health and wellness.<\/p>\n

Samsung Health<\/a> connects everyday wellness and health features \u2014 including telehealth, prescription drug coupons, and health records \u2014 with more than 77 million monthly active users worldwide. Through Galaxy wearables, mobile phones, AI-powered insights and an expanding ecosystem of health and clinical partners, Samsung is helping bridge the gap between daily wellness and health, through continuous, personalized, and proactive health experiences.<\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s October 2025 acquisition of Xealth complements this growing ecosystem by embedding digital health tools directly into provider workflows and enabling wellness data from wearables to mobile devices to be integrated with clinical information. This helps reduce data silos, gives providers timely context on patients outside of the hospital, and supports more continuous engagement.<\/p>\n

For Medicare beneficiaries, these advances come at a critical time, as people increasingly manage more complex health needs across multiple providers, care settings and stages of their health journey. Greater access to connected health information can help reduce friction, support more informed conversations with care teams and make it easier for individuals to stay engaged in their health.<\/p>\n

By connecting everyday health and wellness experiences with the broader health care ecosystem, Samsung and its partners are working to make care more seamless, accessible and continuous across aging populations. \u201cTechnology has the greatest impact when it makes people\u2019s lives easier and helps them feel more connected. This is true not only in work and life, but in relation to one\u2019s health,\u201d said Dr. Pak. \u201cWe\u2019re proud of the progress we\u2019re making to bring health and wellness experiences closer to care, and we\u2019re excited about what\u2019s possible when industry, health systems, and government work together toward a shared vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

While many users may know Samsung Health<\/a> as a daily companion for tracking goals, its capabilities now extend beyond everyday wellness, to include making health information more accessible and useful. With personalized tools designed to improve habits and build healthy routines, it brings together fragmented health data and offers a connected view across activity, sleep, nutrition, mindfulness, and vitals that can help users better understand their health and wellness.<\/p>\n
