Samsung SmartThings Family Care update redefines staying connected, giving families real-time support, personalized alerts, and shared schedules ensuring peace of mind for loved ones, whether they live under the same roof or across continents.
Effortless Connection Starts With a Single Link
Caregivers can now invite family members to join Family Care simply by sharing a link. That link guides recipients through streamlined, step‑by‑step joining instructions making onboarding accessible even for those less familiar with apps.
Once connected, families can refine what information is shared. Care recipients decide what details caregivers can access and can change permissions at any time balancing connection with privacy.
Activity Insights and Inactivity Alerts Support Peace of Mind
Family Care watches for usage of devices like TVs or refrigerators. If none are used over a set time, caregivers get a notification. From there, they might call the person or even use a robot vacuum with camera capability to check on them. The alert delay is fully adjustable to match each household’s rhythm.
For those using Samsung Health, caregivers can view data such as sleep and wake times along with step counts helping support loved ones’ wellness proactively.
Location-Aware Alerts Keep Journeys in Check
Caregivers can register key locations like clinics, pharmacies, markets or cultural spots and receive updates when the care recipient arrives or leaves.. It works wonderfully for tracking school commutes or checking visits to appointments.
Shared Schedules Keep Everyone on Track
Important events such as health visits, Medication times, or family gatherings can be added into Family Care. The system then sends reminders to both the caregiver and the recipient, helping ensure nothing is missed.
Global Access and Tailored Care for Every Household
Now launched in more than 200 countries, the update gives families worldwide a more refined experience. Custom settings offer the flexibility to align with daily routines, while Samsung Health integration helps caregivers stay tuned into loved ones’ well‑being.
SmartThings Family Care now makes caring for loved ones easier than ever, no matter where they are. Quick setup personalized sharing, real – time activity and location alerts, schedule reminders, and health tracking all come together to keep families close even when they’re physically apart.
