Samsung acquiring Seattle tech startup Xealth to boost digital health ambitions
Samsung Electronics is acquiring Seattle-based digital health startup Xealth, aiming to expand its footprint in healthcare. Founded in 2017 as a spinout of the Providence health system, Xealth helps healthcare providers prescribe and manage digital health tools. Its system is currently used by more than 500 hospitals across the U.S., including Advocate Health and Banner Health, and integrates with more than 70 digital health solution partners. Samsung said the deal will strengthen efforts to build a platform that unifies consumer health data from wearable devices with clinical records and hospital workflows — helping patients and providers access more personalized and preventative care.
