Samsung Research Poland (SRPOL) is thrilled to announce a transformative collaboration with the Polish National Institute of Cardiology (IKARD). This partnership focuses on enhancing cardiac health research through the use of Samsung Health Research Stack. By integrating advanced technology with medical expertise, this initiative aims to revolutionize the continuous monitoring of patients' health and vital signs, ultimately contributing to more effective prevention strategies.
A key aspect of this collaboration is the tailored adaptation of Samsung Health Research Stack by SRPOL. By providing necessary adjustments to meet specific business criteria, the solution now offers enhanced capabilities for examining critical health metrics such as heart rate and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). This integration allows researchers to continuously monitor patient data, enabling proactive and personalized healthcare interventions. The focus on continuous monitoring ensures that potential health issues can be addressed promptly, reducing the risk of complications and improving overall patient well-being.
This partnership highlights the shared commitment of Samsung Research Poland and IKARD to advancing medical research and technology. By leveraging the customized implementation of Samsung Health Research Stack, this collaboration is poised to make significant contributions to the field of cardiac care. Watch our exclusive video to learn more about this groundbreaking initiative and witness the fusion of technology and healthcare innovation in action.
Join us as we explore the future of cardiac research and care, where continuous monitoring and prevention are at the forefront of improving patient outcomes.

Researchers from Samsung Electronics’ Visual Display (VD) Business have been declared winners of a Best Paper Award at the IEEE’s (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE 2021) for their technical paper entitled “Analyzing Images for Music Recommendation.”
 
ICCE is the flagship conference of the IEEE Consumer Technology Society (formerly the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society), held annually in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, USA. A total of 190 research papers were accepted this year, with five finalists nominated for the virtual conference’s Best Paper Award. The competition consisted of video-recorded paper presentations and a live Q&A session, and just three papers were selected as winners.
 

 
“The work portrayed in this paper connects domains such as AI, UX and affective computing with the goal of providing an emotionally enriching user experience by bridging artworks and music in an unconventional manner,” said Anant Baijal, a Samsung Staff Engineer (Advanced R&D Group) and the lead author of the paper. “We propose a method that considers both an artwork’s style (classical, baroque, impressionist etc.) and the emotion it conveys (calm, joyful, mellow, etc.) to automatically curate music that is well-suited to accompany the image.”
 
The research highlighted in the paper is under review for possible commercialization in Samsung’s flagship products, including the recently announced Neo QLED TVs, along with lifestyle products such as The Frame. Currently, through Ambient Mode on QLED and Art Mode on The Frame, consumers can display pictures of their choice when they are not watching TV. The research team wants to take the user experience to the next level by giving consumers the option to play music that is curated based on automatic analysis of the image displayed on the screen. The results obtained from initial tests conducted during the research support the efficacy of the proposed approach. 
 
“When a user uploads a picture, such as artwork or a photograph, our proprietary AI algorithms evaluate the image to recommend music through a user-subscribed music streaming provider,” added Baijal. “Future work on this technology would include integrating other parameters into the algorithm, such as the weather, time, geolocation and user activity, in addition to the image being displayed. We are designing the algorithm to be capable of adapting to individual users’ preferences.” 
 

 
“At Samsung’s Advanced R&D Group, we’re continually striving to provide a more dynamic screen experience by developing innovative technologies that complement consumers’ ever-changing lifestyles,” said Dr. Danny Hyun, Corporate Vice President and Head of Advanced R&D Group at Samsung Electronics and a co-author of the paper. 
 
The Advanced R&D Group’s research spans multidisciplinary areas such as AI, Big Data and connectivity, and the Group is also responsible for creating futuristic concepts and product prototypes. Multiple international patent applications covering the technology’s concept, components and user scenarios have been filed by Samsung Electronics.
