Samsung Health Integrates HealthTap’s Virtual Care to Expand Access for U.S. Users

The integration enables Samsung Health users to schedule and conduct virtual consultations with HealthTap doctors without leaving the app.

Virtual healthcare provider HealthTap has partnered with Samsung Health to bring virtual primary and urgent care directly into the Samsung Health app, marking a step toward expanding access to healthcare through digital channels.

The integration enables Samsung Health users to schedule and conduct virtual consultations with HealthTap doctors without leaving the app.

Users can complete intake forms, join video consultations, and later review clinicians’ notes and follow-up instructions — all within the Samsung Health interface.

According to California-based HealthTap, the collaboration aims to leverage Samsung Health’s seven million monthly active U.S. users to improve access to care through a new digital channel across Android devices.

“Integrating virtual primary and urgent care directly into Samsung Health creates a true gateway to continuous care,” said Sean Mehra, HealthTap CEO and cofounder. “When individuals can connect with their physician in the same place they track their sleep, fitness, and vitals, care becomes part of their daily routine instead of a separate event. This collaboration moves us closer to a world where access, context and personalized support are built into everyday life, helping people address issues like poor sleep, stress or chronic conditions before they escalate.”

The development builds on HealthTap’s earlier partnerships that expanded its reach in virtual care. Earlier this month, the company was listed as an independent care provider option on Eli Lilly and Company’s digital healthcare platform, allowing patients with diabetes and other chronic conditions to connect with primary care physicians through virtual care.

In April, HealthTap partnered with Commure to integrate EHR tools, AI-enabled features, and care coordination capabilities with HealthTap’s clinician network, enabling health systems to offer virtual primary care and after-hours coverage without internal setup.

Meanwhile, Samsung has been strengthening its connected health offerings. The company recently introduced a sleep apnea feature for its Galaxy Watch series through the Samsung Health Monitor app, following regulatory approvals in Malaysia, Australia, and Singapore.

Samsung also finalized its acquisition of Xealth, aimed at enhancing its transformation into a connected care platform bridging wellness and clinical care. The collaboration between Samsung’s wearables and Xealth’s digital health platform is intended to link home health monitoring with clinical decision-making.
