Samsung SmartThings Gets Smarter, Safer And More Personal

Samsung is expanding SmartThings with elder-care monitoring through Family Care, using connected devices and environmental data to flag changes in older relatives’ routines.

The update adds Care on Call, robot-vacuum check-ins, and week-over-week behavior comparisons for longer-term insights.

Now Brief is being positioned as a cross-device dashboard for phones, TVs, and Family Hub fridges to surface home updates in one place.

Samsung Wallet will also support digital keys on Aliro-certified smart locks, enabling remote access and shared entry.
