Adapting Samsung Health’s Medication feature for India, and designing the UX for Samsung’s Personal Health Records (PHR). Together, the work won an iF Design Award in 2026, and was named Project of the Year 2024 at Samsung Design Delhi.
Samsung Health already offered medication tracking globally, with its UX framework defined by the global team. But it wasn’t built around India’s pharmacy and healthcare ecosystem. The data layer, the UX and the assumptions behind them all came from elsewhere.
Samsung partnered with Tata 1mg, a trusted Indian medication database, to provide verified medication information.
I adapted the existing global UX for the partnership: working out which touchpoints had to change to carry partner data, and which new features the integration made possible. I also proposed further enhancements that use the Tata 1mg database for richer medication information. Several are now in the commercial pipeline.
Impact
The feature supports 1.6 million monthly active devices, generating 2+ million medication interactions every month.
The Tata 1mg integration is commercialised, and the research-led enhancements are set to release in the next version.
What went back to global
India-specific insights were fed back to the global Samsung Health team, reversing the usual global-to-regional direction.
Samsung’s PHR is part of India’s government health-locker programme under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), delivered with Eka Care. Samsung was among the first OEMs to onboard.
I designed the UX, including onboarding and record-management flows, within significant government infrastructure constraints.
