Adds the health records feature to the Samsung Health app to help users manage their health more comprehensively
Samsung has added the health records feature to the Samsung Health app to help users manage their health more comprehensively. Samsung has partnered with Eka Care for the same.
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 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 prioritises 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 providing convenient access to Digital Health records, enabling data securely shared with doctors or caretakers anytime. This feature empowers users to manage their health history, track progress, and maintain better control over their well-being,” said Kyungyun Roo, MD, 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 revolutionise how Indians approach personal healthcare management, by leveraging the power of digitisation. Users can now safely store their health records in 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 minimise 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 the defense-grade Knox Security Platform.
Indian users can experience the new Health Records feature via Samsung Health’s latest app updates on the Samsung Galaxy store and Google Play store.
