> Your Health Records On Your Phone by Samsung! Last week, Samsung Health App, leveraging the b.well Connected Health Platform, released a major upgrade allowing users to get all their health records on their phone and get push notifications about open care needs. I recorded a quick video using my real health records to show everyone how easy it is to take control of your healthcare. I had used Apple Health in the past to do this but Samsung Health makes it actually useful: 1. In Samsung Health, I have access to almost all the doctors and hospitals in the country compared to the small subset of hospitals available in Apple Health. 2. In Samsung Health, I can search for my records by using my doctor’s name.?Like most people, I remember my doctor’s name but don’t know which health system holds my patient records.?b.well has already done the work to map doctors to the health systems that store their patient records. 3. Samsung Health uses LLM (Large Language Models) from b.well to allow searching for doctors using plain English like "baby doctor". 4. Samsung Health uses the b.well Intelligence Layer (IL) to?combine data from different health records into a single longitudinal record. 5. Samsung Health provides me proactive notifications about care needs so I can stay on top of my health.?These notifications show up as push notifications on my phone even if I don’t check my app every day. Finally I can be in control of my own healthcare!
