Samsung teams up with Galeon to train decentralized healthcare AI

Samsung has partnered with decentralized science protocol Galeon to integrate AI features into its ultrasound devices and supply anonymized AI training data.

Tech behemoth Samsung has partnered with decentralized science (DeSci) and healthcare artificial intelligence protocol Galeon to provide AI training data from its ultrasound devices.

According to a Tuesday announcement shared with Cointelegraph, Samsung said it will integrate its ultrasound equipment with Galeon’s electronic health record (EHR) platform. Speaking to Cointelegraph, Galeon CEO Loïc Brotons said the EHR is already live in 18 interconnected hospitals, including those in France at Rouen University Hospital, Caen University Hospital, Toulon Hospital and Sud Francilien Hospital.

Samsung and Galeon said the effort aims to improve medical data availability while keeping a privacy-first approach. Brotons said the data itself is not stored onchain; only the AI algorithm operates onchain “with full traceability of how the algorithm is operating.” He added that all data is anonymized before training for privacy compliance reasons.
