Health-tech startup sehatUP has launched India’s first integrated digital health clinic. The platform claims to combine allopathy, ayurveda and homoeopathy to deliver personalized health and wellness solutions, marking a significant step towards making healthcare more comprehensive and accessible.

The startup collaborates with over 50 expert doctors and health coaches to create tailored wellness journeys. The company states that it uses advanced technology to develop treatment plans that seamlessly integrate various medical systems.

In recent years, the ‘One Nation, One Health System’, as a concept, has gained momentum in India. This is a concept that aims to establish a unified healthcare system that ensures consistent standards and promotes social equity by providing all citizens with access to quality services. It also focuses on improving efficiency by streamlining resources to reduce costs and enhance service delivery, while strengthening disaster preparedness to create a system capable of responding effectively during health emergencies. 

However, many experts have noted that India’s geographical diversity and infrastructure gaps present challenges in establishing an integrated healthcare system. Encouraging private players to participate in the national health framework and effectively utilizing digital technology have been suggested as key strategies for addressing these challenges.

According to sehatUP’s leadership, their platform was created in alignment with the ‘One Nation, One Health System’ initiative. sehatUP’s platform provides personalized healthcare plans and free doctor consultations, initially focusing on sexual wellness and weight management. The platform also offers a range of affordable,  clinically-approved medicines and natural supplements.

Speaking about the launch, Karan Bhargava, Founder and CEO of sehatUP, said, “sehatUP is designed to offer a more holistic and inclusive approach to healthcare. By  blending modern medicine with traditional practices like Ayurveda and homeopathy, we aim to provide users with a balanced path to well-being that addresses root causes and promotes long-term health.”

News continues to pour in about the delicate situation at Samsung Foundry, the company’s semiconductor production division. Things seemed to be improving following the good performance of the Exynos 2400 chip. However, recent developments revealed severe hurdles to overcome in order to get back on track. Interviews with Samsung employees indicate that the company is currently facing a “crisis.”

Samsung Foundry and its low yield rate issues

Samsung Foundry’s main problems stem from the low yield rate of its 3nm GAA wafers. The company had hoped to make the Eynos 2500 chip an attractive, powerful, and efficient SoC thanks to the new process. However, its factories have not been up to the task. Recent reports claim that only about 25–30 chips out of every 100 produced are usable. Meanwhile, at their worst, wafers have shown a yield rate of just 10%.

Samsung is reportedly trying to improve the yield rate of its 3nm GAA wafers before deciding which chip to use in the Galaxy S25 series. Given the severity of the situation, it is highly likely that Samsung will have to replace its Exynos 2500 chip with the more expensive (yet powerful) Snapdragon 8 Elite. However, the South Korean giant is keeping the faith and is still testing the Exynos 2500 in case they manage to turn things around at the last minute.

Samsung employees and former employees see a crisis in the company

Damnangyi, a YouTuber and former Samsung employee, shared a video with views from people related to the company. The opinions are about the current situation and the potential causes. First, seven former employees and 24 current employees claim that Samsung is in crisis. Most of them believe that Samsung’s current pace of innovation is slow. This would be a direct consequence of a lack of vision on the part of the board of directors. Some have even expressed concerns about the management’s treatment of employees.

Damnangyi currently works at Qualcomm in the US. However, his time at Samsung was enough to know what was going on internally. Plus, the situation is no secret, as representatives apologized to investors this month for the disappointing financial results and lack of innovation.

The company will seek to change the situation with more innovation

In its official apology, Samsung Electronics teased its strategy to try to turn things around. The company mentioned that it will bet more on innovation and on the development of long-term solutions. Only time will tell if Samsung manages to get back on track or if the internal crisis worsens. Recently, Samsung Mobile launched the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition in an attempt to compete with the ultra-thin foldables of Chinese brands.

A Canadian research firm called TechInsights took a deep dive on one of Huawei’s artificial intelligence accelerators and found a chip manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). Bloomberg spoke with several people familiar with the investigation who asked to remain anonymous since TechInsights’ report has been released to the public.

The anonymous sources says TechInsights’ investigation found an Ascend 910B chip made by TSMC in one of Huawei’s AI accelerators. The company that conducted the investigation declined to comment.

Reuters reports that TechInsights informed TSMC of its findings before publishing its report. This prompted TSMC to notify the US Commerce Department earlier this month. The Financial Times reports, citing people familiar with the matter, that TSMC told the department that a customer had placed orders for a chip similar to Huawei’s Ascend 910B. One of the FT‘s sources said that TSMC “had spoken both to the customer involved and to the commerce department” after recieving the suspicious order.

The US Commerce Department implemented additional trade restrictions against Huawei that barred the electronics company from obtaining chips made by foreign firms. Earlier this year, the US government tightened its restrictions even further by revoking its licenses with Intel and Qualcomm to produce chips for its devices.

TSMC denied that it had a working relationship with Huawei since mid-September of 2020 in a statement provided to the Commerce Department. TSMC also told Bloomberg that it hasn’t produced any chips for Huawei due to the amended restrictions. Huawei denied that it had ever “launched the 910B chip.”

This isn’t the first time Huawei has been caught trying to subvert US sanctions and trade restrictions. Bloomberg also uncovered in May that Huawei funded secret research in the US at universities including Harvard by funneling the money through a Washington-based scientific research foundation called Optica. The foundation said it decided to return the money in June and chief executive officers Elizabeth Rogen and Chad Stark stepped down the following August.

Update, October 22, 7:10PM ET: This story was updated after publish with more details from the Financial Times‘ reporting on the matter.
