Ultrasound:
Samsung will present a new on-device AI technology for ultrasound, known as Heart Assist, which can enhance the diagnosis and examination process. It is a deep learning-based function that automatically locates the cross-section of the heart and measures various points required for accurate diagnosis.
Its automated nature will allow for a streamlined workflow due to fewer keystrokes. The feature can be found on the V8 and V7 ultrasound systems.
Recently, the company also released the new V7 ultrasound system, which offers a wide range of clinical applications, including on-device intelligent assist features such as BiometryAssist and UterineAssist, which enhance both the patient and user experience.
Digital Radiography:
The company will further unveil its premium digital radiography solutions, including the new “Vision Assist” solution and AccE Glass Free Detector.
The AccE GC85A Vision Premium Ceiling Digital Radiography System with “Vision Assist” delivers more advanced patient care and workflow efficiency while maintaining an enhanced low-dose imaging experience.
Specifically, the AccE GC85A Vision focuses on new ways to increase the efficiency of healthcare professionals by streamlining without compromising:
- Reduced Operation Time
- Decreased Retake Error
- Continuous Patient Care
Meanwhile, with a strategic focus on workflow optimization, recently, the company has also released a new flagship detector, the AccE Glass-Free Detector, which provides a more comfortable imaging experience without compromising image quality.
Designed to deliver high-resolution images of a lightweight digital detector, it provides additional user and patient benefits, including:
- Functionality
- Reliability
- Clear Visibility
Computed Tomography:
The RSNA also includes the OmniTom Elite with Photon Counting Detector (PCD) technology and the BodyTom 64. The state-of-the-art Omnitom Elite has the capability to provide versatile, real-time mobile imaging to power point-of-care CT. Without the need to move critical patients to a separate imaging department.
With the addition of PCD technology, the system provides the ability to capture CT data in multiple energy bands. It brings multi-energy CT functionality with spectral capability for material decomposition, virtual monoenergetic images (VMI), and soft tissue identification.
Environmental, Social and Governance:
Expanded polyethylene foam (EPE) foams that were previously used in ultrasound packages have been replaced with recycled paper, resulting in a shortage of 15 tonnes of EPE foam by 2022.
Samsung aims to have “zero” use of EPE foam by 2023. In addition, the polyurethane material used for the transducer package is also being replaced by recycled paper, which is expected to reduce polyurethane usage by up to 8 tons.

Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra has undergone one of the most extreme military tests. The company has recently published a Watch Ultra test video, featuring Phillip Chu Joy.
Phillip participated in the Peruvian Navy’s Special Operations Course to showcase the watch’s capabilities. It is renowned as one of the world’s most challenging military training programs.
“The Galaxy Watch Ultra pushes technology to its limits, handling extreme conditions with ease,” Chu Joy remarked. “It’s undoubtedly designed for those seeking exceptional performance.”
The Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra proves its durability and functionality in water, mud, and sand — excelling even under the grueling conditions of Peru’s most extreme military training.
Galaxy Watch Ultra
The Watch Ultra boasts a Grade 4 titanium frame. It also features a shockproof cushioned design that meets MIL-STD-810H2 military standards and water resistance of up to 10ATM.
The product is capable of operating within a broad temperature range of -20°C to 55°C4 and performing at altitudes of up to 9,000 meters above sea level.
These capabilities make it ideal for tracking advanced physical activities like ocean swimming and cycling in extreme conditions; take the Perivian military training as a recent proven example.
Samsung’s Watch Ultra is the ultimate companion for sports enthusiasts and extreme adventurers. It’s crafted to endure the toughest conditions with its pro-grade features and premium materials.
Samsung’s Mauricio Revollar stated:
“We wanted the public to experience the Galaxy Watch Ultra like never before in the Peruvian market by creating the most extreme product review ever undertaken here.”
“This was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Peruvian Navy, which allowed us to highlight and celebrate the commitment of the students in one of the world’s most demanding military training programs.”

Apple collaborated with OpenAI to power Apple Intelligence features. The ChatGPT maker continues to create obstacles for Google. In a recent move, OpenAI discussed a potential AI partnership with Samsung.
TheInformation (via Reuters) reported that OpenAI has recently discussed powering AI features on Samsung-made devices. It seems the ChatGPT-maker wishes an AI partnership with Samsung to expand its reach in multiple folds.
The company is considering developing a web browser to rival Google’s Chrome. OpenAI recently introduced its search engine called SearchGPT. It is available to limited users alongside internal testers and strategic partners.
Samsung x OpenAI
Samsung and Google’s close partnership doesn’t need any elaboration. The friendship isn’t limited to services, as both firms work across an ecosystem. However, it doesn’t stop Samsung from partnering with OpenAI in favor of better service.
As the AI phone market is growing rapidly, OpenAI may innovate further. Google doesn’t lag, but there’s still room for a potential alliance. Apple Intelligence-like features might be deployed on Galaxy phones after Samsung’s partnership.
OpenAI knows Samsung holds the command of the worldwide smartphone market. Expansion of its services will be quite broader than Apple if its partnership with Samsung pens down. For now, take this information as a grain of salt!
Apple x OpenAI
Apple leads the worldwide premium smartphone market. Google and Samsung introduced their AI phones in October 2023 and January 2024, respectively. It forced Apple to immediately enter the segment to normalize the innovation gap.
Google’s availing Gemini Nano AI model, but Apple joined hands with OpenAI. To create a difference, OpenAI powering some of the coolest AI features on recent iPhones. The move is to attract other vendors to adopt source AI from OpenAI.
Well, Apple still reportedly considering bringing Gemini AI on iPhones. The company believes that iPhone users should have different AI providers available. Hence, a multi-collaborative approach is also in the pipeline, at least from Apple’s end.
Samsung revealed its Project Infinity, which aims to make your Galaxy devices safer against cyber threats. Android is vulnerable due to its open-source nature, making regular security updates necessary for your Galaxy phone’s security.
Project Infinity of Samsung is a classified operation, working on safeguarding Galaxy devices and users around the clock for safer operations. Samsung Newsroom has recently published a blog post, revealing insights from specialist meetings.
Cyber Threat Intelligence
Samsung’s Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) taskforce is a reconnaissance unit within Project Infinity along with the Red (RED), Blue (BLUE), and Purple (PURPLE) Teams, which go beyond lab conditions to identify real-world dangers.
- RED and BLUE perform proactive attack and defense functions, seeking out vulnerabilities and taking measures against them.
- PURPLE is a special operations unit that acts as both a sword and shield for specific critical areas.
It’s worth noting that Samsung has deployed RED, BLUE, and PURPLE teams in various countries including Vietnam, Poland, Ukraine and Brazil. CTI is dedicated to identifying potential threats and stopping hackers from taking control of your device.
“Once we spot these kinds of threats, we collaborate with developers and operators to lock everything down for preventing attacks,” said Ranger, a CTI member.
Samsung Security Updates
Earlier this year, Samsung announced it to support flagship Galaxy devices for seven years. The new policy applies to all flagship Galaxy devices launched after the Galaxy S24 series. It’s the longest software support offered by any mobile brand.
These updates mean customers can safely use their phones for longer. As cyber threats become more common than you think, security updates are much more crucial to safeguard your Galaxy from any potential threat of vulnerability.
