Apple Flexes Muscles in Health Field

August 14, 2014

That's possibly because Google "was burned by its Google Health venture several years ago," Parks' Wang suggested.

Samsung is also in the race, having launched the SAMI platform and S Health app for its e-health business, but "it may not have the right mix of software and platform expertise to draw enough developer support and partner interest," Wang said.

On the other hand, Samsung "does have a strong brand and a large installed smartphone user base in the U.S., so no healthcare partners will ignore [its] call," Wang surmised.
