The Clinical Innovation Lead leads the clinical function within Digital Health Research and is the single point of clinical accountability for the organization, spanning early research through late development. The role sets the clinical standards that other functions build against and directs the physicians and clinical consultants who apply those standards across programs.

This is a practicing physician who brings clinical, technical, product, interpersonal, and translational expertise. Unlike an embedded individual contributor, this role owns clinical capacity as a resource: it decides which programs receive clinical depth, at what intensity, and by whom. It reports directly to the Head of Digital Health Research alongside the other function leads, and it grows the clinical team as the breadth of clinical areas supported by DHT expands.

• Manage a team of physicians and clinical consultants supporting DHR, with dotted line to the programs they are embedded in.
• Advise on clinical and physiologic endpoint criteria at biosensor and algorithm maturity gates.
• Advise on any feature that makes or implies a health claim, whether it originates in Digital Health Research or in Product. Research that transitions into Product carries its clinical requirements with it, and the Head of Clinical Science remains the accountable clinical reviewer through launch.
• Advise on intended use, indications, and clinical claims language before external release, in partnership with Regulatory Affairs and Quality.

Guided by principles of minimizing harm, maximizing health benefit, and increasing adoption of Samsung Health products.

• Health Assistant
  :
  Own and manage the clinical workstream for the AI health assistant end to end — content and knowledge-base design, evaluation, and iteration against deployed performance. Define what the assistant is clinically permitted to say for each use case, where it must defer to a clinician, and how it handles red-flag presentations. Partner with the GenAI engineering team to translate those standards into system behavior, and set the clinical acceptance criteria a release must meet before it ships.
  
  Direct the physicians and clinical consultants who author, review, and grade assistant outputs
• AI Coach
  :
  Own clinical direction across the AI coaching portfolio — the physiologic reasoning behind each recommendation, the clinical breadth and reach, and the boundaries of what a coach may advise for a given user profile. Work alongside the product team to keep coaching content evidence-grounded and matched to user risk. Set the clinical oversight model for deployed models: what is reviewed pre-launch, what is monitored post-launch, and what triggers rollback.
  
  Direct the clinical consultants who advise on the specialty criterion of the AI coach.
