Samsung Partners with Leading Universities to Advance Digital Health Capabilities

Samsung is building a "digital health ecosystem" through partnerships with universities and hospitals.

Goals include enhancing Samsung devices' health/fitness tracking and better predicting disease risk factors.

Partnerships with MIT, Harvard, and Tulane will research sleep, stress resilience, and cardiovascular diseases.

Research collaboration will allow sharing of existing and new research between institutions and Samsung.

The data gained will eventually improve health/fitness tracking capabilities of Samsung wearables like smartwatches.
