I was wondering if there was any talk of when the medication tracker in samsung health would be available in Canada? Apple has had this for at least a year already?

I tried to find the answer to that, but unfortunately, I didn't find anything.

I think it will either take a long time or it might not be available in other countries because part of that feature links to information about the medications you are taking, side effects, and all of that information. This information is tied to a specific U.S. healthcare association.

If I am wrong, please correct me. 😉

Still hoping to get that feature since I take a lot of meds and it would be nice to have that in Samsung Health.

Hi Helenna, there wasn't really concern as much as hope that it would be out in Canada soon. It would be incredibly useful to me

Hi Helenna, is there a reason it isn't out in Canada yet?

It may have to do with Health Canada? But until Samsung gets it's Security Patches up to date, I wouldn't want to have personal information about medications on my Samsung devices.. 

Getting more concerned about Banking information now..

When I mentioned Health Canada, I'm not sure if there's any compliance regulations regarding apps and tracking medications? 

I mentioned Security Patch Updates, because my S23 Ultra, is still on the July 1st Security Patch.. it's now October.. I don't know what device you have.. I almost NEVER have commented about slow updates, but I feel that 3+ months late is ridiculous.

When will Canada get the medication tracker? Just a "take your medication dummy" reminder would be a start. It's kind of there for the blood sugar tracker
