  • Samsung SmartThings Family Care can help you stay on top of your loved one’s medications, appointments, and more.
  • Automated alerts can let you know about daily activity, or warn you when there’s a deviation from routine.

Modern medicine has people living longer than ever, and while that’s a huge achievement, an aging population also means some new challenges to address. Many adults find themselves increasingly involved in some sort of caregiver role with aging relatives. Now Samsung is introducing some new tools to help address their needs, as it launches SmartThings Family Care in the US.

Family Care is intended to be a one-stop shop for staying on top of the needs of the person you’re caring for. For example, you can set up the schedule for their medication or testing regimen, and even get alerts when it’s time to make the next doctor’s appointment for them.
