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.
