Samsung Health Integrates Virtual Doctor Visits for 7 Million US Users

Samsung Health has partnered with virtual care provider HealthTap to integrate virtual primary and urgent care directly within the Samsung Health app for U.S. users. This allows over seven million users to book, conduct, and follow up on virtual doctor visits seamlessly without leaving the app or needing additional downloads. The integration offers a streamlined experience where users can complete intake forms, connect with physicians via video, and review clinical notes and follow-up instructions all in one place. This move marks HealthTap's first in-app integration with a third-party platform and represents a significant expansion of telehealth access for Samsung's Galaxy smartphone and tablet owners. Samsung aims to leverage health data tracked by its devices to enable more personalized diagnoses and treatments, with plans to introduce additional virtual care specialties and services in the future. The partnership reflects growing consumer demand for convenient digital healthcare and strives to create a more connected health ecosystem.
