Philips, Samsung to Collaborate on Platform Integration for Connected Health Market

Samsung is connecting its Artik IoT platform to Philips’ HealthSuite Digital Platform, which will allow Samsung’s Artik-enabled connected devices to securely access and share information with Philips' cloud platform, said the companies Thursday. They also can leverage data from various sources and IoT solutions, including Qualcomm Life, Validic and Philips’ HealthSuite IoT solution, based on Amazon Web Services IoT. Devices built with Samsung Artik systems-on-modules will be able to integrate with the Philips platform, they said. The collaboration will enable healthcare application developers to focus on developing innovative applications "rather than on the technical integration of devices,” said Dale Wiggins, general manager-Philips HealthSuite Digital Platform.
