- Samsung Health could soon make adding medicines to the Medication feature easier by letting you scan them.
- It could also soon inform you about drug-allergy interactions, expanding from current warnings about drug-to-drug interactions.
Samsung Health is Samsung’s health platform, which powers the health tracking features of its Galaxy Watches and, soon, the Galaxy Ring. Samsung’s ambitions for Samsung Health extend beyond mere tracking and measuring through its wearables, and we get the hint that the company is aiming at holistic health management. If you regularly use Samsung Health, you’d be glad to learn of these two upcoming features: medicine scanning and drug-allergy interaction.
We managed to activate a bunch of new features in the latest Samsung Health app. In the future, users will be able to scan their medication to automatically add certain data like name, strength (mg dose), and form (tablet, capsule) to Samsung Health.
