Samsung Electronics is dedicated to using technology to address healthcare challenges in Southeast Asia and Oceania, including chronic diseases, uneven access, medical professional shortages, and an aging population. The Solve For Tomorrow program encourages young innovators to focus on creating healthcare solutions that benefit society.
In New Zealand, a 12-year-old student created Pill-Bot, an AI medication identifier for the visually impaired. In Singapore, a team developed SilentGuide, smart glasses that transcribe spoken words into subtitles for people with hearing impairments. In Thailand, Team Kao Kee’s Cough Aid web application uses AI to analyze cough sounds and diagnose respiratory diseases early.
These innovative solutions show the potential of young minds in the healthcare industry. Participants in the Solve For Tomorrow program receive mentorship and access to technology to bring their ideas to life. Samsung Health app offers users insights into their health indicators like sleep, heart health, and physical activity, enhanced by devices like the Galaxy Watch for comprehensive tracking.
The combination of youthful innovation and established technology can lead to breakthroughs that address healthcare challenges. Samsung continues to empower young problem solvers while developing innovations to support wellness goals. This World Health Day, we celebrate the potential of innovative solutions to create a healthier future for all.
