The older the kids get, the busier I get. Now, I’m not complaining about that but I am complaining that there aren’t enough hours in the day. And if I’m honest about it, I don’t even have time to get sick. I go and go and go until my get up is gone and I just can’t go anymore. I’m always so busy taking care of others, that I often have to remind myself that I need to take care of me too. Until this past week when I didn’t have any other choice but to rest until I felt better. Then I had a reaction to a shot and well, let me just say, I made a vow to myself that I would do better at taking care of my health. Because technology is a big part of my life, I started by seeing what apps my Samsung Phone has that could help me in that area.
After scanning through different apps, I found the perfect one. I didn’t even realize that all Samsung phones have a Samsung Health app. I blame my lack of knowledge about my new phone, on lack of time. All this time I’ve been missing out on ways that Samsung Health tracks my activities, nutrition and sleep, and delivers insights based on my progress. This app really does help keep me motivated.
One of the best features Samsung Health has is it allows busy parents like me (and you) to see a doctor online via our Samsung devices. It only takes minutes to see a board-certified doctor and we don’t even have to wait for an appointment. How convenient is that? It doesn’t matter what hours you work because they are available 24/7. Online doctor consultations are covered by many top health plans. You can even get a prescription if needed, sent to your local pharmacy. New news is as of this month, Samsung Health will be launching specialty services such as nutrition and therapy services, by appointment.
Common Conditions treated with Urgent Care
Sinus infection
Cold/upper respiratory infection
Bronchitis
Sore throat
UTI (Urinary Tract Infection)
Yeast Infection
Cough
Eczema
Pink Eye/Conjunctivitis
Stomach Infection (Gastroenteritis)
Hypertension/high blood pressure
Flu
For me, sinus infections are always a problem. You may have ongoing issues like mine or you may not. However, even if you aren’t sick right now, with flu season on our heels, it’s great to know how to prevent getting the flu. You can ask an expert about tips on preventive measures you can start taking now.
If you have a Samsung device, there’s nothing for you to do. Samsung Health comes preloaded on your Samsung device. No download required! It’s just smart to take advantage of Ask an Expert’s service so go ahead and sign-up and use Ask an Expert on your Samsung phone.

That looks like an amazing app. I will have to check it out as I know I need to do better.
I think this is a great app for Samsung phone users. It has so many great features!
This sounds a really great product. Is this available on Samsung devices only or other people can take the benefit of this?
I am an Apple user but this is interesting. Glad Samsung is making it easier to have health help at your fingertips
I have a Samsung phone and did not know Samsung Health was available. This is so cool! I cannot wait to explore the app.
I don’t have a Samsung product (apple fan for life). But, I think it’s great that different companies are trying to be more proactive with health
It does look like a cool product. I am curious as to whether or not the doctors themselves would integrate it into their stuff as far as working with them. I don’t know of any doctor who uses that just yet.
Oh wow!! It really sounds useful tool!! Checking out more of this
I’m not a samsung user but this app looks interesting. Planning to switch to samsung soon and luckily i found your post 🙂
This app looks so helpful. I get sick often and I can see myself using this often. Thanks for sharing.
Ive never owned a samsung. Not sure I would take medical advice from an app though.
Well I’ve had a Samsung phone for years and I didn’t even know this is a thing! They must haven’t done much adverting on it I guess. Hope you feel better soon.
I’m using samsung s8 now. It has may useful apps and Samsung Health is a really good one. I thinks everybody should have your own Samsung devices.
I love how these days a lot of electronics and technology is making our lives easier, faster and more convenient!
This is such a useful tool. Keeping track of your healthy is more important than ever.
I do like apps and tech like this because HEALTH truly interests me! Plus it helps others who aren’t as interested keep tabs on what’s going on too!
I haven’t used Samsung before. This seems a very promising platform. I need to look into this soon.
it is so cool how technology had evolved! i have a health tracker on my iphone and i find it very very useful
I would love to give Samsung Health a try. It has so many great features. I will have to tell my friends about it.
I need to get this app! I always want to stay as healthy as I possibly can, especially in the winter.
Sounds like a super useful app! I would make life much more easier! Too bad I don’t have a samsung phone
I had no idea you could see an doctor so easily through this feature. As a busy Mom that would be a life saver thank you so much for sharing!
This is an interesting concept. I will have to check it out more.
