Overview
- Samsung demonstrated a new pet-health screening tool at VivaTech 2026 that lets users submit one photo from a Galaxy device for AI analysis.
- The AI is built in collaboration with Lifet and runs through an implementation named Lifet by Elevenliter to flag possible issues.
- Samsung says the system can screen for specific problems such as some dental diseases, patellar luxation, and cataracts.
- Users must install the SmartThings app and the Pet Care service for the feature to work and Samsung cautions it is a screening aid, not a veterinary diagnosis.
- The move extends Samsung's Connected Care push to include pet wellness and follows a wider industry trend of adding AI health tools to consumer devices, which could help owners spot concerns earlier but will depend on regional rollout and regulatory support.
