Samsung Digital Health platform

Samsung has partnered with China-based payor Ping An Insurance to create a digital health platform, according to the Korea Herald.

Last week, Rich Wong, partner at investment firm Accel Partners, said he sees more potential for mobile health apps and devices built on Android platforms than Apple, according to a report from Venture Beat.

At the Samsung Developer's conference this week, Samsung released the reference design for its wristworn wearable, called Simband, to developers.

At the Samsung Developer Conference this week in San Francisco, the South Korean consumer electronics giant revealed much more about its digital health plans, including the names of 24 partners it has been working with -- a dozen commercial partners and a dozen research partners.
