Samsung brought AI-powered health insights to Samsung Health a few months ago, but the company has much bigger plans for the future. A company executive has revealed that Samsung wants to position Samsung Health as a healthcare infrastructure provider while offering users even deeper, AI-driven personal health insights.

Speaking at the DHP 2026 conference in Seoul on November 11, Choi Jun-il, Vice President of Samsung's Mobile eXperience (MX) Digital Health Team, outlined the company's milestones, roadblocks, and strategy for Samsung Health and its Galaxy wearables.

He said that Samsung will upgrade the AI in Samsung Health to offer hyper-personalized insights across diet, fitness, and sleep. The company also plans to use that data to bring new health features to other Samsung devices, including refrigerators and TVs.

Rather than building all medical services in-house, Samsung plans to act as a health infrastructure provider and open up its wearable sensor data to third-party medical AI companies. Samsung Medical Center is already running proof-of-concept trials for this strategy.

In the US, Samsung aims to connect Samsung Health with 100 major hospital chains by 2030 with the help of its Xealth acquisition.

While the US healthcare system already relies on a standardized data exchange protocol (FHIR) used by major Electronic Health Record (EHR) providers like Cerner and Epic, clinics and hospitals in South Korea use fragmented, incompatible systems. As a result, Samsung has to build separate integrations for each Korean hospital.

Choi emphasized that South Korea's healthcare system needs to standardize its data, package its solutions with government support, and expand globally.
