Samsung Medications Tracking Feature
Samsung Electronics announced a new Medications tracking feature for the Samsung Health app to help users manage their health. Users can easily track their prescription and over-the-counter samsung medications and get important information and tips with the new feature. It can help regular medication users and general health supplement users.
“Samsung Health connects devices, services, and people to help people better understand and manage their health,” said Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of Digital Health Team, MX Business at Samsung Electronics. “They believe the new Samsung Medications tracking feature will make medication management easier, improve adherence, and improve overall health.”
Samsung Health’s Medications feature provides general descriptions and side effects for Samsung medications entered into the app. Drug-to-drug interactions and adverse reactions from food and alcohol are also listed. Samsung Health will warn users taking Simvastatin that grapefruit juice can cause serious side effects. Users can even log the shape and colour of their pills to easily distinguish them. To avoid confusion, add dosage, consumption time, and other details.
Users can set reminders to take and refill their medications. Samsung Health sends reminders ranging from “gentle” to “strong” depending on how urgent or important a prescription is, and these alerts are customised to the user. For important Samsung medications, users can set a “strong” reminder that displays a full-screen smartphone alert with a long tone. Vitamin supplements have a discreet pop-up reminder. Galaxy Watch users will receive wrist reminders to stay on top of their medication schedules even when away from their phones.
The Samsung Health app offers advanced sleep management, mindfulness, and irregular heart rhythm detection. Samsung Health’s Medications tracking feature creates a holistic wellness experience that helps users manage their medications and live healthier.
Samsung Health app updates later this week will add Medications tracking to the U.S
