With the motive to provide Galaxy device owners a more accurate wellness experience, Samsung announced a new Medications tracking feature for the Health App. This new addition will help users manage their health more comprehensively.
The new feature will help users easily keep track of both their prescription and over-the-counter medications and provide relevant information and tips about these medications. It can assist those who take medications regularly and those taking supplements for general well-being.
This Medication feature will provide users with detailed information that includes general descriptions as well as possible side effects. Adverse reactions that could occur from drug-to-drug interactions or if taken alongside certain food and substances are also provided.
Not only this, but users can also set up alerts that remind them both when to take their medications and when they should consider refilling them. These alerts are fine-tuned to the individual user so the Medications feature can prioritize medications depending on their importance.
Overall, the Samsung Health Medications feature is intended to help users manage their medication list and schedule. Simultaneously, this feature will work on smartphones with Android 8.0 or later and Samsung Health app version 6.26 or later.
To be mentioned, this new Medications tracking feature will first be available on the Samsung Health app in the United States via the app updates rolling out later this week. However, it may further be expanded to more regions in the future.
Hon Pak, Vice President and Head of the Digital Health Team at Samsung Electronics said,
- Samsung Health aims to help people better understand and manage their health through a holistic platform by connecting devices, services, and people.
- With the addition of the new Medications tracking feature, we believe users will be able to more conveniently manage their medications, improve adherence and ultimately maintain better health overall.”
