In a meeting at Samsung Medical Center in Seoul, Dr. Hon Pak, SVP, and head of Samsung’s Digital Health Team discussed AI, wearables, and their ability to revolutionize healthcare.
The discussion in the meeting emerged around two key themes: first, how advancements such as generative AI could be harnessed to improve healthcare, and second, Samsung’s ability to contribute to the future of healthcare was a key focus, possibly due to their ongoing innovations.
Professor Myung Jin Chung, Director of the Samsung AI Research Center at Samsung Medical Center, highlights the necessity of “lifelog” data assembled by wearable devices for a better understanding of the patient’s medical history. According to him, the future of AI is to extract this information straight from the user’s daily life and offer a better understanding of their health status.
A cardiologist, Dr. Blum, states that it will be better to continue health monitoring through smartwatches, which is key for early disease detection. He also highlights scenarios such as high blood pressure and atrial fibrillation where previous intervention is essential. He believes that smartwatches can offer valuable data for doctors to understand the root causes of the disease whereas AI helps to analyze this data and translate it into actionable insights for patients.
A diabetes specialist, Dr. Klonoff, punctuates the growing use of glucose monitoring, not only for diabetics but also for those pursuing a healthier lifestyle. He also considers it an essential as well as powerful tool when combined with other health data such as sleep, blood pressure, and activity. It is expected that this data, analyzed by wearables and AI, could offer a better understanding of overall metabolic health.
Recent reports reveal that the South Korean giant is also working on the implementation of wearable technologies capable of reading the glucose levels of its users. Apart from this, the giant is also deciding to develop non-invasive solutions for blood glucose monitoring, which would lead the company to get ahead of its long-time rival Apple in this area.
