Samsung Health Introduces New Medications Tracking Feature For Indian Users
The new addition is to support users with health conditions that require strict medication schedules, such as hypertension, diabetes and PCOS
Samsung has introduced a Medications tracking feature to its Samsung Health app in India, allowing users to monitor their medication regimens and receive reminders for both prescription and over-the-counter medications. This addition is part of Samsung's ongoing efforts to expand health management tools within its platform.
The Medications tracking feature in the Samsung Health app aims to support users with health conditions that require strict medication schedules, such as hypertension, diabetes and PCOS. The feature offers functionality to track adherence to prescribed dosages and provides essential information about medications, including descriptions, potential side effects and guidance on drug interactions. The Medications feature is developed in collaboration with Samsung’s R&D, Design and Consumer Experience teams to address the specific needs of Indian consumers.
Users of the Samsung Health app can enter the name of their medications to receive tailored information on their usage, as well as set reminders for when to take their medications and refill them. The app offers customisable notification settings, ranging from gentle to strong alerts, which can be prioritised based on the importance of each medication. Users of Galaxy Watches can also receive these reminders on their wrist, ensuring they stay on schedule even when away from their phones.
This feature is part of the Samsung Health app's broader suite of health-related tools, which already includes functionalities like sleep management, mindfulness programs and irregular heart rhythm notifications. The Medications tracking feature, licensed from Tata 1mg, will be available through app updates on smartphones with Android 10.0 or later and Samsung Health app version 6.28 or higher.
