Young Sohn discusses how connected health technologies are accelerating innovation in preventive healthcare. He outlines three ways Samsung is working to advance this: 1) Developing open platforms for wearable sensors and data to integrate new technologies and provide users control over their consolidated health data. 2) Creating open platforms for sensor and data innovation to overcome challenges like battery life and sensor accuracy. 3) Partnering with UCSF to validate new sensor and algorithm technologies through real-world testing and evaluation. The goal is to accelerate preventive healthcare through open collaboration and validation of disruptive connected health solutions.
