Samsung Electronics has announced its acquisition of Xealth, a healthcare integration platform that combines various digital health tools and care programs for patients and providers. This move aligns with Samsung’s goal of creating a connected care platform that integrates wellness and medical care, offering a seamless approach to preventive healthcare.

The company collaborates with over 500 U.S. hospitals and more than 70 digital health solution partners, all of whom will benefit from access to Samsung’s platform.
