Samsung Hand Wash is the app designed by the Korean company to help users remember to wash their hands, a behaviour that in itself is the basis of normal hygiene, but for some months essential to limit the spread of COVID infection -19.
Hand Wash had already been announced in mid-April for the Indian market, but a few hours ago Samsung announced that the app is now available for download globally and can be downloaded for free – also in Italy – directly from the Galaxy Store on numerous smartwatches (the complete list at the end of the article).
While it is true that awareness raising has increased the importance of washing hands frequently and thoroughly, opinions may differ on what it actually means “frequently and accurately” in practical life. For this reason Samsung has developed an application that provides clear guidance on how and how often users should wash their hands. The Hand Wash app, downloadable by searching for “Hand Wash” in the Watches section of the Galaxy Store, helps users to remember to wash their hands at regular and scheduled intervals throughout the day.
HAND WASH – FEATURES
The features inserted by Samsung within the app are different and include:
- Timer for an accurate washing of 25 seconds (standard 20 seconds + additional 5 to allow users to soap their hands and open the tap) with integrated vibration feedback
- System of notices for missed washing
- The dedicated control panel was to monitor the daily washing frequency
- Time elapsed since last wash
- Elegant dial that makes the washing routine easily accessible
- Widget for easy access
To help you perform a regular hand wash, the Hand Wash app includes an alarm function; users can select the Reminder button to add or change the timing of their alarms. For example, users can set an alarm that will alert them every two hours so they can wash their hands at regular intervals. The number of alarms that each user sets will correspond to a target on the app dashboard.
COMPATIBILITY DOWNLOAD AND SMARTWATCH
The app is available for download on the Galaxy Store for users with a Gear S3, Gear Sports, Galaxy Watch, Galaxy Watch Active and Galaxy Watch Active2
