Samsung Electronics Co.<\/a>, Ltd. today shared its vision of connected care, a concept powered by Samsung\u2019s open ecosystem, during a panel discussion at VivaTech 2026 in Paris, Europe\u2019s largest startup and tech exhibition.<\/p>\n

During the panel, Hon Pak, Head of the Digital Health Team for the Mobile eXperience (MX) Business at Samsung Electronics, joined four other speakers: David Lee, Head of Samsung Next; Mike McSherry, CEO of Xealth; Alina Su, CEO of Generation Lab; and Michael Dubrovsky, CEO of SiPhox Health. Together, they presented a blueprint for the future of healthcare to an audience of approximately 1,000 attendees.<\/p>\n

Serving as the moderator, David Lee emphasized the critical role of partnership. \u201cThe future of health cannot be built by one company alone,\u201d said David Lee. \u201cIt must be forged through an open ecosystem of collaboration among diverse innovators.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building an Open Health Ecosystem<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Samsung possesses a diverse portfolio of devices and platforms, spanning from semiconductors to mobile phones, wearables, home appliances, and TVs. The company leverages its diverse portfolio to cultivate a robust, collaborative ecosystem with numerous partners across each of its business sectors.<\/p>\n

By integrating Samsung devices with partner solutions within this open ecosystem, Xealth, Generation Lab, and SiPhox Health are accelerating connected care solutions. This healthcare vision aims to help users lead healthier, more vibrant lives through proactive wellness management powered by Samsung\u2019s connected device ecosystem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Hon Pak highlighted the scale of Samsung\u2019s reach during the discussion, noting that \u201cSamsung Health supports more than 77 million monthly active users,1<\/sup><\/a> and the SmartThings<\/a> platform connects 460 million users.\u201d 2<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Samsung holds a strong advantage as a trusted brand within the household, the central setting for daily life and wellness. Pak shared, \u201cBy connecting our device ecosystem around the home via SmartThings<\/a>, we can innovate the health experience where it matters most, at a time when health is shifting to the home \u2014 a space in which prevention can happen at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To support this transition, Samsung has integrated a wide variety of devices \u2014 including home appliances, TVs, and compatible third-party devices \u2014 into its SmartThings platform. This enables a broad spectrum of services that range from personalized automation routines to family and pet care.<\/p>\n

Accelerating Innovation Through Partnerships<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The panelists identified Samsung\u2019s established ecosystem and open approach to collaboration as key strengths.<\/p>\n

Alina Su of Generation Lab emphasized the value of this partnership by saying, \u201cWhat has been most exciting is Samsung\u2019s genuine openness and distribution. There\u2019s real scale and technical capability \u2014 but there\u2019s also a willingness to collaborate, to co-create, and to move quickly with partners.\u201d She continued, \u201cWhen you combine that with\u00a0the devices people already use every day, you can bring innovation to people\u2019s lives far faster than you could independently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael Dubrovsky of SiPhox Health also explained the benefits of the collaboration, \u201cSamsung brings the device ecosystem already living in people\u2019s homes and on their bodies.\u201d He explained that \u201cSiPhox adds the diagnostic layer that has always been missing from that picture. Together, continuous device data and continuous biomarker data create a more complete health picture that has never existed outside a clinical setting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Generation Lab provides a solution to help users easily check biological age and actively manage aging at home, while SiPhox Health offers a service that enables active health management through hospital-grade blood tests.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\n\t\t\"Mobile\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n

Mike McSherry of Xealth shared a vision for providing a seamless, continuous healthcare<\/a> solution by bridging the gap between clinical care in hospitals and daily wellness management through deep integration with Samsung.<\/p>\n

Empowering Open Collaboration and Ensuring Robust Security<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In addition to strategic partner collaborations, Samsung has built an open ecosystem for the developer and researcher community. Utilizing the Samsung Health Software Development Kit (SDK) Suite, they can easily create innovative wellness services leveraging advanced sensor technology and the health platform. This allows Samsung Health users to experience new features quickly.<\/p>\n

Protecting these experiences is Samsung Knox<\/a>, a proprietary defense-grade security solution integrated across various consumer touchpoints, such as mobile devices, home appliances, and TVs. With Knox, users can confidently manage their sensitive information within the Samsung ecosystem.<\/p>\n

Looking at the next five years of healthcare in the context of the AI era, Pak concluded, \u201cA daily companion that knows who I am, as well as what I need and when, will help me achieve my health goals seamlessly through lifestyle behaviors and connected innovative partner services.\u201d<\/p>\n
