The partnership combines Samsung’s knowledge of consumer technology and mobility to develop advanced tools, based on Google’s Android operating system, that can communicate with Medtronic’s neuromodulation systems.

Medtronic plans to provide real-time health data to physicians and patients by integrating neuromodulation therapies with Samsung’s technology.

"The companies will focus on developing digital health solutions to treat people with chronic pain, movement disorders, incontinence, and other conditions."

The move will enable physicians to better manage therapy, track symptoms and wirelessly monitor information received from Medtronic devices.

The partnership aims to focus on allowing patients implanted with neuromodulation therapies to leverage consumer electronics such as smartphones, wearables or tablets for securely and wirelessly transmitting real-time data from their device to physicians.
