\n\tEnhanced Family Care Makes It Easier To Check In on Loved Ones<\/p>\n
\n\tFamily Care connects SmartThings with a range of home appliances and mobile devices to provide notifications regarding the activities of users\u2019 aging parents and reminders for medication and hospital visits \u2014 as well as location-based alerts. With this update, the service enables even more thoughtful care.<\/p>\n
\n\tAdditionally, Samsung\u2019s new Care on Call1 feature allows users to more closely check on the status of the care recipient through a simple phone call. When a caregiver using the service calls the care recipient, a floating pop-up that displays key information like the time of the first activity of the day, the most recent activity time and the local weather \u2014 all at a glance \u2014 appears before the call begins. This helps caregivers ask more meaningful check-in questions and respond accordingly.<\/p>\n
\n\tSmartThings can also continuously monitor devices like air conditioners, air purifiers, dehumidifiers and humidifiers for indoor temperature, humidity and air quality. If unusual usage patterns are detected, the caregiver is immediately notified and can remotely control the relevant device.<\/p>\n
\n\tFamily Care has made the Safety Patrol feature \u2014 which utilizes SmartThings to send a new Bespoke AI Jet Bot Steam Ultra to check various areas around the house \u2014 even more convenient. If the care recipient\u2019s activity is not detected for a specified period of time, users receive a notification and the feature can be remotely activated if the caregiver needs to take action. Using a camera built into the robot vacuum, caregivers can view issues that might occur \u2014 such as a person lying incapacitated \u2014 and two-way communication through the built-in speaker and microphone allows them to act.<\/p>\n
\n\tTo further enhance the level of care provided to loved ones, the Care Insight feature has been enhanced to provide even more actionable, long-term data within the Family Care service. It analyzes factors like temperature and humidity levels, paying attention to whether they deviate from optimal ranges. It also tracks significant changes in activity levels and connected device usage compared to the previous week.<\/p>\n
