Today, the Galaxy Upcycling program expanded to include the option to turn a handset into a smart home device using its light and sound sensors.

Samsung Electronics is recycling its old Galaxy smartphones into healthcare equipment for people underserved people in India, Morocco, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea. Old phones will be remodelled as eyecare equipment to screen patients with eye diseases, the company said in a statement.
Tech giant Samsung Electronics is repurposing its old Galaxy smartphones into medical diagnosis cameras to enable greater access to ophthalmic healthcare in India, Vietnam, Morocco and Papua New Guinea.
Samsung partnered with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB) and Yonsei University Health System (YUHS) in Korea to create medical devices that screen for eye disease by using Galaxy smartphones that are no longer of use, a statement said. This Galaxy Upcycling program is helping to address approximately 1 billion global cases of vision impairment that are preventable with proper diagnosis, it added. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 2.2 billion people have a form of vision impairment and almost half of these cases were preventable or have yet to be addressed. There is a large disparity in the prevalence of vision impairment depending on the affordability and availability of eye care services.
