Samsung Health App
A New Samsung Health App Makes It Easier to Track Food, Manage Medications, and Access Medical Records
Samsung is dedicated to supporting consumers’ wellness practices by providing an ecosystem of individualized wellness experiences that are seamlessly connected. This is made possible by Samsung Health, which unifies disparate health data into a single platform that makes it simple for consumers to keep an eye on their heath.
Through the most recent Samsung Health app update, which is available starting today, Samsung Health has expanded its health management capabilities to help users accomplish this goal. This includes the ability to conveniently track daily food intake, manage medications, and access health records. In order to improve the experience in a few markets, Samsung has teamed up with top businesses that specialize in managing drugs, integrating health data, and reading food barcodes.
Control Your Health Record in One Safe Location
Users may now effortlessly access medical data from clinics, hospitals, and major health networks through the Samsung Health app with a new feature called “Health Records.” Samsung has teamed up with b.well Connected Health, a platform that unifies the biggest EMR systems in the US, such as Veradigm, Cerner Health, Epic Systems, and Athenahealth.
By providing insightful information and notifications that encourage next steps, including suggesting medical tests or actions, the Health Records feature helps users move toward preventative care. Giving consumers a comprehensive picture of their medical history, including records of their prescriptions and vaccinations, previous hospital stays, and even individual test results, helps them connect with their healthcare providers more effectively because they have their vital medical information at their fingertips.
More Users Can Now Access Advanced Medications Tracking
The Medications monitoring feature, which was introduced in the United States last year, has made it simple for users to keep track of their prescriptions and to get pertinent advice and information, such as general descriptions, possible side effects, and alerts regarding drug interactions or responses related to food. Approximately two-thirds of Samsung Health app users in the United States return at least three times a week to manage their meds, making it one of the most popular features.
With the most recent version, more customers may now conveniently manage their drugs with the enhanced functionality and availability of the meds monitoring tool. By merely using their phone’s camera to scan the pill bottle, users can quickly add prescriptions to their own personal medication list using the visual search feature. Via an easy-to-use dashboard, they can also evaluate adherence levels and readily track drug progress, including information on missing doses or dosage regimens.
In order to provide more customers with useful information, the medications tracking tool is also being extended to South Korea and India through strategic partnerships. The Samsung Health app in the United States also offers alerts for more than 960 different kinds of allergies and possible drug responses with its collaboration with Elsevier, a well-known worldwide healthcare data center.
Users in Korea can get advice on which medications to avoid during pregnancy from the Korea Pharmaceutical Information Center (KPIC), a reputable organization under the Korean Pharmaceutical Association. Additionally, customers in India can simply renew their prescriptions online when necessary, in addition to receiving reminders, with a partnership with Tata 1mg, the country’s top digital consumer healthcare platform.
Use Barcode Scanning to Effortlessly Track Food Intake
Healthy diet and food tracking are essential. Samsung Health’s meal tracker now scans barcodes, making food names, calories, and nutrition statistics easier to record. Users only need to scan food barcodes to obtain the required nutritional information immediately in the app, with cooperation with Fatsecret, one of the biggest worldwide producers of verified food and nutrition data. First, the function will be accessible in the United States and a few European nations, such as France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Poland. It will eventually be expanded to other markets.
Samsung is committed to influencing the direction of all-encompassing health care and is always refining wearable technology to provide more intelligent, individualized solutions for daily wellness. When paired with Galaxy AI and other technologies, these developments fortify the cornerstone of Samsung’s digital health platform and provide more significant and impactful experiences on a global scale.
