Samsung Health Adds Telehealth, Walgreens Prescriptions and iFIT Workouts, Rolling Out Sept. 8

The move shifts the app from basic tracking toward integrated care by linking to outside providers.

Overview

  • A new Find Care feature will connect users to HealthTap for virtual doctor visits, with booking, video consults, appointment review, and in‑app follow‑up messaging.
  • Health Records will integrate Walgreens data once accounts are linked, automatically surfacing new and existing prescriptions in the medication tracker and enabling comparisons of current and past medications.
  • Samsung Health will host premium guided workouts from iFIT, including HIIT, Pilates, and recovery routines organized by categories such as trending and seasonal recommendations, with pricing not yet announced.
  • Samsung says the additions will progressively reach users starting September 8 through updates to the Health app.
  • Functionality depends on partner account links and coverage; one report notes HealthTap is commonly covered by major U.S. insurers, while specifics on costs, insurance, device support, and data sharing remain unclear.
