Samsung has partnered with digital healthcare provider Babylon Health to launch ‘Ask an Expert, powered by Babylon’, a service that allows users to check symptoms and book live video doctor appointments.

Samsung will incorporate Babylon’s AI service within the Samsung Health app, allowing users to book video appointments with certified doctors 24/7, obtain medical advice, and manage and order prescriptions online. Users can also check their symptoms and receive triage information about physical health, common ailments and symptoms straight to their device.

“We’re excited to be welcoming ‘Ask an Expert, powered by Babylon’ to the Samsung Health app. 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. The availability of the Babylon service within the app is another milestone for Samsung as we move towards a more connected, healthy world.” – Head of Technology and Services at Samsung UK, Kyle Brown.

“Babylon’s mission is to make healthcare accessible and affordable and to put it into the hands of everyone on Earth. Samsung’s vision for empowering individuals and transforming healthcare, partnered with the company’s illustrious history of technological innovation, constant focus on customer satisfaction and truly global reach makes it a perfect fit with our values and mission. It’s very exciting to know that millions of Samsung users will soon be able to better manage their health using Babylon’s services as we deliver personal health assessments and treatment advice via their Samsung Galaxy devices.” – Founder & CEO of Babylon, Dr. Ali Parsa.

Full membership with access to unlimited appointments with Babylon doctors will cost £50/€50 per year, on an annual subscription basis, or £25/€25 for a one-off appointment.
