Samsung Electronics revealed its vision for seamless health management through connected care on June 17 at VivaTech 2026, Europe’s largest startup and tech fair held in Paris.
Under the theme “An Invitation to a Healthier Tomorrow,” the exhibition showcased solutions that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technology, devices, and services to proactively manage health both at home and outside.
Samsung’s connected care vision centers around its integrated health platform, Samsung Health, offering personalized experiences across five key areas: sleep, activity, nutrition, mental health, and vital signs. The platform connects various home appliances, including mobile devices, TVs, and other electronics, to facilitate comprehensive, personalized health management.
The exhibition booth is divided into three areas: an “Ecosystem” zone showcasing core services, an “Open Care Lab” for experiencing collaborative projects, and a demonstration area.
In the Ecosystem zone, the latest features of Samsung Health 7.0 are highlighted, including heart health management and aerobic exercise tracking, with Galaxy smartphones and watches seamlessly integrated. Notably, the platform from the U.S. digital healthcare company Zels, acquired last year, allows patients to continue receiving care and prescriptions from healthcare providers outside of hospital settings, presenting a next-generation digital health management blueprint.
Everyday care solutions utilizing home appliances and mobile devices are also prominent. The Bespoke AI Family Hub refrigerator’s AI Food Manager manages ingredients and analyzes weekly consumption patterns to suggest recipes and shopping lists. The pet health management solution, Lifepet, uses AI to identify dental diseases and patellar luxation through simple photographs, enabling early intervention.
The Open Care Lab showcases partnership achievements, including skin diagnostics through the AI Beauty Screen developed in collaboration with Amorepacific, a TV-exclusive “Visual Meditation” service created with startup Curz, and AI skin and scalp analysis solutions from in-house venture Becon.
Choi Seung-eun, head of Samsung Electronics’ Global Marketing Center, stated, “Samsung Electronics provides a differentiated connected care experience based on our ecosystem that encompasses smartphones, wearables, home appliances, and TVs, along with open partnerships. We will continue to support our customers’ healthier daily lives as their health management partner.”
