Ask An Expert From Home With Samsung Health
At our household, like many households, we go, go, go! We need to work. We need to go to school. We have sports practice. We have family events. We have things to do and getting sick isn’t one of them! Besides that, who has time to sit in a waiting room for forever?
That’s why having a doctor on demand is the way to go! At the touch of my fingertips, I have access to urgent care with Samsung Health’s Ask An Expert. For those of you with a Samsung, you may or may not know this, but you have Ask an Expert already on your phone. It comes preloaded on your Samsung device. No download required. Yes, REALLY!!
Here’s how Samsung’s Ask An Expert saved me from calling for an appointment and sitting in a waiting room for hours on end. My 7 year old daughter recently had a case of pink eye and oh boy, I knew what it was right away! My kids have had pink eye before (this isn’t my first rodeo!), so I knew the goopy gunk was not just a case of the eye boogers.
Hello, Ask an Expert!
I went into Ask An Expert, they were able to see her eye and in fact, see that pink eye was the culprit and Ciprofloxacin eye drops were prescribed. Boom, done!

Shut up! The future is here! This is seriously probably the coolest piece of technology I’ve read about all year!
That sounds like an awesome service. It would be especially great for people while they were traveling.
This service almost seems too good to be true if you could get a prescription and diagnosis so easily. I would love to try this next time I need a quick answer.
I’ve heard about this a couple of times and I think it’s really amazing that Samsung has this feature. It’s convenient and it allows you to keep your health in check at all times! I love it.
Love the idea of this service. I think so many non-emergent health questions could benefit from this
I love health tracking apps and this one sounds so awesome. How cool is it that it can track your activity, nutrition and sleep?
THis is totally the way of health care for the future. For little problems like pink eye this saves everyone, even the health care companies so much money.
Ask an expert sounds awesome! It totally makes life easier!
This is insane! I can’t imagine how handy this will be. Medicine is definitely changing with technology.
This is so much better than using Google to figure out questions to medical problems. It’s nice to have access to the experts right from your phone.
Loved this post. How cool is it that it can track your activity, sleep and nutrition ?
This sounds like a fantastic way to get quality answers from experts without having to visit the doctor!
It can be such a hassel to get the kids ready and head to the doctor. This is a great option to get some health questions answered.
This is awesome! I had no idea this was a thing. How convienient is this? I think something like this would be so useful to everyone!
This is seriously the coolest thing I have ever seen! What a handy device. This will be so useful for so many, especially for parents.
I had no idea about this service. It looks like it is incredible!
This is fabulous. I love that we are developing programs like this that can better help people and making health care easier and more accessible.
My cousin uses something very similar when she can’t get in to see her regular dr. It’s super affordable and a way to get “seen” without leaving her home.
Wow that is amazing! It would come in handy whenever we have one of these covered issues (which seems like it’s all the time)!
This is awesome to learn about and so much better than taking your sick child to sit in the waiting room with a bunch of other sick children. Technology is a wonderful thing.
I’ve heard so much about this and I think it’s really amazing that Samsung has this app! It’s convenient and it allows you to keep better track of your health!
i love this idea. I think anytime you don’t have to learn your home when you feel icky is always the better option. I’d for sure do this!
It looks so helpful, practical and very easy to use. I love it because it makes everything easier – especially if you’re so busy and you don’t have time to visit a doctor. Hope I can use it too!
What an awesome benefit for those with a Samsung phone! This would save me so much time and energy hauling my kids to and from appointments when I already know their diagnosis, like you with the pink eye!
My daughter and her husband love this. They both travel extensively for work and this has been a game changer for them. Thanks for telling me more about it.
I love this… it is definitely so handy for quick medical questions. No more googling and hoping for the best!
Oh wow! How awesome is this?!? That ap would save me so much time and money
This is seriously so awesome. I never knew that something like this even existed!
I had no idea Samsung offered this. What a fantastic idea! You can waste so much time sitting in a waiting room just to get a simple prescription some days.
