Gurugram, India – January 17, 2025: India’s largest consumer electronics brand, Samsung announced that it has added the Health Records feature to the Samsung Health app to help users manage their health more comprehensively.

The Health Records feature enables users to create and access their Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) directly through the Samsung Health Mobile App. Users can now effortlessly manage their health data generated by healthcare providers across India, transforming the way individuals take charge of their personal health records.

Samsung’s new initiative to empower its users by providing seamless and secure integration with the country’s digital health ecosystem is aligned with the Indian government’s Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) project.

“Samsung prioritizes customer needs and continually enhances products and services to enhance their everyday experiences. The introduction of the Health Records feature for India within the Samsung Health app signifies our dedication to provide convenient access to Digital Health records, enabling data sharing with doctors or caretakers in a secure manner anytime. This feature empowers users to manage their health history, track progress, and maintain better control over their well-being,” said Kyungyun Roo, Managing Director, Samsung Research Institute, Noida.

The Health Records feature is the result of a collaborative effort across R&D, UX Design and Consumer Experience teams at Samsung with Eka Care, India’s leading ABDM-certified integrator. With this feature, users can register for an ABHA account within the Samsung Health app with their Aadhaar or mobile phone numbers. Once registered, they gain access to view their medical history, including prescriptions, laboratory results, hospital visits, and more — all securely linked to their unique ABHA IDs.

“At Eka Care, we are thrilled about this partnership with Samsung, as it will significantly accelerate the adoption of ABDM across India. This collaboration is a key step toward building a more connected and efficient healthcare ecosystem in the country,” said Deepak Tuli, co-founder, Eka Care.

Samsung aims to revolutionize how Indians approach personal healthcare management, by leveraging the power of digitization. Users can now safely store their health records in the ABDM-certified secure health lockers and not be burdened by cumbersome paper trails.

In addition, during OPD visits at ABDM-compliant hospitals and clinics, users can simply scan the QR code via the Samsung Health app to obtain a virtual queue token and minimize wait times.

Samsung Health app offers comprehensive health services including medication management, sleep monitoring, mindfulness programs, and irregular heartbeat notifications. All Samsung Health user data on Samsung devices is secured by defense-grade Knox Security Platform.

Indian users can experience the new Health Records feature via Samsung Health’s latest app updates on Samsung Galaxy store and Google play store.

Gurugram, October 24, 2024 – India’s largest consumer electronics brand, Samsung announced that it has added the Medications tracking feature¹ to the Samsung Health app² to help users manage their health more comprehensively.

The feature will not only allow users to keep track of their prescribed or over-the-counter medication regime but will also offer important medical information and tips. The feature can help in tracking medication adherence consistency for those, who are on a medication journey for hypertension, diabetes, PCOS, PCOD and other chronic diseases that require timely doses.

“Samsung is a brand that puts its customers first and continuously works on products and services to improve their daily lives. We aim to build a holistic health platform for people to understand and manage their health better by connecting devices and services. With the addition of Medications feature for India in the Samsung Health app, we believe users will be able to manage their medications more conveniently, improve adherence, and ultimately maintain better health,” said Kyungyun Roo, Managing Director, Samsung Research Institute, Noida. 

The Medications feature, the result of a collaborative effort between R&D, Design and Consumer Experience teams at Samsung, has been designed keeping in mind the needs of Indian consumers. Upon entering the name of a select medication into the Samsung Health app, the Medications feature will provide users with detailed information including general descriptions, as well as its possible side effects.

In addition, the new feature will provide information on adverse reactions from drug-to-drug interactions and other relevant safety guidance. Users can set up alerts to remind them both when to take their medications and when to refill them seamlessly through the

Samsung Health App.

These alerts can be fine-tuned to the need of the individual user, so the medications can be prioritized depending on their importance to the user, with Samsung Health sending reminders ranging from “gentle” to “strong”. Galaxy Watch users will also receive reminders right on their wrist so they can stay on top of their medication schedules, even when away from their phones.

The Samsung Health app already provides a range of advanced health offerings spanning sleep management³, mindfulness programmes and irregular heart rhythm notification⁴ capabilities. The introduction of the Medication tracking feature in India will further reinforce Samsung’s commitment to create holistic wellness experiences for its users, enabling them to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

The Medications tracking feature will be available on the Samsung Health app in India via the app updates.
