Samsung has announced several major new features for its comprehensive Health app. Starting with version 6.28, users can import their medical records, including test results, prescriptions, hospital visits, and vaccinations. The app offers "meaningful insights and alerts that suggest next steps, such as recommending medical tests or actions." This feature integrates with popular electronic medical record (EMR) systems in the United States, including Epic Systems, athenahealth, Cerner Health, and Veradigm. Samsung partnered with b.well Connected Health on this feature. Samsung partnered with a different company — fatsecret — on another new feature: barcode scanning in the Food Tracker. This can make logging meals and/or viewing nutrition info as easy as scanning barcodes on food packaging. Samsung has brought a similar feature to the Medications Tracking feature, where users can simply scan a pill bottle with the camera to add a medication to their personal list.
