Samsung health AI models analyse wearable biosignal data

1 day ago 3

Samsung Research America’s Digital Health Team has presented two AI foundation models designed to learn from wearable biosignals. The work centres on data captured by smartwatches, including heart activity, sleep, and physical activity.

The company discussed its Connected Care vision at the Health Forum during Galaxy Unpacked in July 2026. Samsung described a future of preventive, personalised, and connected care, supported by health technology and healthcare partnerships. Its research team positions health foundation models as one component of new consumer health experiences.

Sharanya Desai, Head of Digital Health Algorithms at Samsung Research America, said: “This research is significant because it lays the technical groundwork for delivering health insights that are efficient, precise, and continuous through a health foundation model.

“We will continue to develop and advance health foundation models that can be applied to a variety of biosignals and health features that can operate on-device with limited sensors and computing resources.”
