Samsung enters UK telehealth market through Babylon partnership

In a new partnership with digital health provider Babylon, Samsung is launching a new system called "Ask an Expert, powered by Babylon" for its customers in the U.K. that lets users check symptoms and book live video appointments.

The new tool combines Babylon's artificial intelligence with the Samsung Health app to help users book virtual appointments with certified physicians 24/7 and check their symptoms to receive triage advice.

"Now our customers will be able to look after their health from wherever they are — whether it's checking a symptom or talking to a doctor — all within a few simple taps," said Kyle Brown, head of technology and services at Samsung U.K. "The availability of the Babylon service within the app is another milestone for Samsung as we move towards a more connected, healthy world."

The Babylon service will be available starting in the U.K. May 31 on the Samsung Health app.
