UAE-based startup LVL Wellbeing, a corporate wellbeing platform that aims to help individuals and corporate teams achieve a healthier work/life balance, has successfully closed a funding round led by MG Wellness Holding, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi-based Multiply Group.

The $10 million investment from MG Wellness Holding will enable the startup to incorporate HealthierU into its operations, which is already a subsidiary of Multiply Group.

HealthierU is a marketplace-style platform that connects users with wellness consultants worldwide, offering online 1-to-1 sessions. So far, the app’s ecosystem has yielded incredible results, notably a significant reduction in the risks associated with chronic diseases for many of its users.

CEO of LVL Wellbeing, Gary Blowers, is optimistic about the latest development: “This investment will enable us to continue to grow LVL Wellbeing into the market-leading workplace wellbeing platform [and deliver] a range of exciting new features”.

Referencing HealthierU, the CEO added: “The integration of HealthierU into the LVL Wellbeing ecosystem will enable us to combine forces to offer the most comprehensive preventative health and wellbeing services to our members and clients, starting with further growth in the UAE and then expanding our focus regionally, and then globally”.

The LVL Wellbeing app has a wide range of features, including on-demand video content and curated live sessions designed to support members on their journeys toward improved wellness. In addition, LVL Wellbeing’s corporate clients can access real-time data, enabling them to make informed decisions and understand the ROI of their investments.

Samsung has confirmed that One UI 7 will officially begin rolling out on April 7, bringing a fresh design and enhanced personalization options. This update is tailored for a more intuitive user experience, powered by AI-driven improvements. Initially, One UI 7 will be available in the U.S. on the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold6, and Z Flip6 starting April 10. The rollout will gradually expand to more Galaxy smartphones and tablets in the following weeks.

Refined Design And More Customization

With One UI 7, Samsung is introducing a cleaner, more cohesive look aimed at making customization easier and more intuitive. The home screen, widgets, and lock screen have been redesigned to streamline navigation and personalization.

One standout feature is Now Bar, which provides real-time updates directly on the lock screen. Whether checking workout progress during a run or seeing what’s playing on Galaxy Buds, users can access key information with just a swipe — no need to unlock the phone.

AI-Powered Enhancements For A Smoother Experience

Samsung has integrated AI into One UI 7 to make everyday interactions more seamless and efficient. Galaxy AI helps users complete tasks with minimal app switching, while AI Select suggests relevant actions based on selected content. For instance, users can swipe the Edge Panel and tap the AI Select icon while watching a video to instantly create a GIF.

Writing Assist — a favorite tool for Galaxy users — will now offer automatic text summarization and formatting. Meanwhile, Drawing Assist provides a creative boost by generating visuals from text prompts, images, or sketches. Another highlight, Audio Eraser, allows users to fine-tune video sound by isolating and adjusting different audio elements.

Finally, Samsung has added greater integration with Google Gemini. Users can simply activate Gemini and ask, “Find Italian restaurants with outdoor seating that are pet friendly” to get instant recommendations. Natural language search also makes adjusting settings easier — users can now tap the mic icon in Settings and say, My eyes feel tired, to receive suggestions like dimming the screen or enabling Eye Comfort Shield.

Device Compatibility And Rollout Schedule

The One UI 7 update will begin rolling out on April 7, with more devices receiving it in the weeks that follow. Compatible models include the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy S24 FE, Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S23 FE, Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Flip6, Z Fold5, Z Flip5, and the Galaxy Tab S10 and Tab S9 series.
