SoloProtect is a 24/7 monitoring and communication service that provides emergency alerts, geo-location and status checks to businesses that employ lone workers in higher-risk environments. "Safety and reliability are top of mind for all employers, but historically, it has been difficult to manage safety for individual employees operating outside the traditional office setting," said SoloProtect CEO John Broady in a statement. "By equipping workers with a high-quality Samsung smartwatch integrated with SoloProtect, we can help businesses increase the safety of those operating alone in the field, and provide them with the ability to concentrate on their task at hand with greater peace of mind."

Reemo's platform tracks activity level, heart rate and sleep quality of seniors in care centers, which can help their caregivers provide better care. "We're thrilled to join Samsung at Mobile World Congress Americas this year to further demonstrate mobile technology's impact in the senior care industry," said Reemo's CEO, John Valiton, in a statement. "Samsung's enablement of the Reemo platform through its wearable devices has made technology truly accessible to seniors by providing mobility, safety, awareness and connectivity to create independence in the aging experience."

People at risk for falling asleep on the job can wear a Gear smartwatch that connects through Samsung's GearUP platform to connect with Ability Wearables' real-time health intelligence systems, letting employers both predict and react to employee fatigue on the job. "Samsung is pushing the envelope with its range of wearables," said Ability's CEO Shiv Madan in a statement. "By applying this collaborative solution to employees at high-risk of fatigue, we believe we can help solve many of the fatigue-driven challenges facing today's workers."

Samsung is also dabbling in exercise programs, too. VirZoom VR Fitness gives fitness center members the ability to hop on a stationary exercise bike from Life Fitness and play virtual reality games while getting fit. Users will move through a virtual world at the same rate they pedal, making for perhaps a more immersive experience. The resistance buttons on the stationary bike's handlebars are also used in the gameplay as well.
