																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span>The Care Companion zone concluded Samsung’s “Your Companion to AI Living” vision at The First Look 2026 — highlighting technology’s most human purpose, care.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>For decades, care has been reactive, addressing problems only after they arise. Samsung aims to change that by embedding AI across its product ecosystem to support safety, health and security. The goal is to shift care from response to anticipation — an approach Samsung calls Intelligent Care.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Samsung Newsroom U.K. visited the final area of the exhibition to see how Galaxy devices serve as the hub for helping people to make choices that support healthier, safer everyday living.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong><span> </span></strong></p>
<h3><strong><span>Personalised Health Management: Optimising Daily Routines</span></strong></h3>
<p><span>In the Self Care – Good Sleep section, visitors learned how wearables such as Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring track sleep conditions while working in concert with lighting and connected home appliances including the Bespoke AI WindFree Pro air conditioner and Infinite AI Air Purifier. Without user input, the connected home automatically optimises temperature and airflow to support a more comfortable sleep environment.</span></p>

<div id="attachment_22969" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-22969 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main5.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="563" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main5.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main5-728x410.jpg 728w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main5-768x432.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tristen Menzies</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>“I love being able to take AI out of my pocket and use it right away,” said Tristen Menzies, a digital content creator from Guam. “What I appreciate about Samsung is that it creates AI that complements your life, rather than interferes. I think that’s the direction we should be heading.”</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong><span>Family Health Care: Supporting Everyone from Older Adults to Pets</span></strong></h3>
<p><strong><span>Early Detection and Prevention of Cognitive Health</span></strong></p>
<p><span>Healthcare is expanding beyond individual management to encompass every member of the family. </span><span>Recognising the importance of preventative health, Samsung is expanding its capabilities in dementia detection through research partnerships to develop features such as the ability to identify early signs of cognitive decline.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_22970" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-22970 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main6.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="750" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main6.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main6-751x563.jpg 751w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main6-768x576.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Demonstration of Samsung Health’s cognitive decline detection feature</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size"><strong>AI-Enabled Pet Health Monitoring</strong></h4>
<p>Samsung’s AI extends to pets as well. The SmartThings Pet Care service helps identify common health conditions such as dental disease, patellar luxation, and cataracts. Using AI, SmartThings Pet Care analyses photos of household animals with on-screen guidance to help identify potential health concerns.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_22971" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="wp-image-22971 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main7.jpg" alt="" width="1000" height="280" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main7.jpg 1000w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Samsung-Mobile-CES-2026-The-First-Look-2026-Care-Companion-Zone-Sketch_main7-768x215.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">SmartThings Pet Care checks for cataracts in a pet.</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span>AI Home Monitoring: Smart Detection for a Safer Home</span></strong></p>
<p><span>When users are away from home, AI-powered home care monitoring offers greater peace of mind. Vision AI analyses video and audio collected from connected devices such as refrigerators equipped with cameras and TVs, detecting potentially dangerous situations and sending alerts directly to the user’s smartphone.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>When no one is home, TVs and refrigerators with built-in cameras can display summaries of moments flagged as potentially risky. Furthermore, AI home monitoring can compare detected faces with images stored in the user’s photo gallery to determine whether the person is a known contact or a stranger.</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>With AI home monitoring, users can feel more at ease even when away from home.</span></p>

<p>“What I like about Samsung’s AI ecosystem is how everything is connected,” said Dr. Rob Longwell, a member of the media from Beverly Hills, CA. “Home security and safety are especially important to me, and I was impressed by how devices work together to help protect the home.”</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
