Gurugram – India’s largest consumer electronics brand, Samsung announced that it has added the Medications tracking feature1 to the Samsung Health app2 to help users manage their health more comprehensively.
The feature will not only allow users to keep track of their prescribed or over-the-counter medication regime but will also offer important medical information and tips. The feature can help in tracking medication adherence consistency for those, who are on a medication journey for hypertension, diabetes, PCOS, PCOD and other chronic diseases that require timely doses.
“Samsung is a brand that puts its customers first and continuously works on products and services to improve their daily lives. We aim to build a holistic health platform for people to understand and manage their health better by connecting devices and services. With the addition of Medications feature for India in the Samsung Health app, we believe users will be able to manage their medications more conveniently, improve adherence, and ultimately maintain better health,” said Kyungyun Roo, Managing Director, Samsung Research Institute, Noida.
The Medications feature, the result of a collaborative effort between R&D, Design and Consumer Experience teams at Samsung, has been designed keeping in mind the needs of Indian consumers. Upon entering the name of a select medication into the Samsung Health app, the Medications feature will provide users with detailed information including general descriptions, as well as its possible side effects.
In addition, the new feature will provide information on adverse reactions from drug-to-drug interactions and other relevant safety guidance. Users can set up alerts to remind them both when to take their medications and when to refill them seamlessly through the Samsung Health App.
