Samsung Electronics said it is partnering with the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to speed up the validation and commercialization of a range of new preventive healthcare tools, including sensors, algorithms, and digital health technologies.
The two entities will establish the UCSF-Samsung Digital Health Innovation Lab at UCSF's Mission Bay campus in San Francisco to develop and run trials to validate new mobile health technologies, Samsung and UCSF said. The testing center will allow entrepreneurs and innovators to validate their technologies and accelerate adoption of new preventive care strategies.
Samsung said it invites the world's innovators and entrepreneurs to take advantage of the facility to test their ideas. Without systematic, rigorous validation of such technologies, mobile health has struggled in the past to achieve its potential for widespread adoption, according to the company.
