At #CES2026, Samsung closed its “Your Companion to AI Living” showcase with a powerful message: technology should care for people, not just connect them. The Care Companion zone demonstrated how Samsung is using artificial intelligence to support proactive health management, family safety, and smarter homes—transforming care from a reactive process into an anticipatory experience. #Samsung
This vision, known as Intelligent Care, integrates AI across Galaxy devices, wearables, and smart home appliances to create a safer, healthier, and more responsive daily life.
Galaxy Devices as the Center of Intelligent Care
Visitors entering the Care Companion area were welcomed by the futuristic Galaxy Z TriFold, displayed on a stunning Transparent Micro LED screen. More than a design showcase, it symbolized Samsung’s ambition to make Galaxy devices the central hub for connected care—linking personal health, home environments, and family monitoring into one seamless ecosystem.
Personalized Health Management Through AI-Driven Sleep Optimization
One of the highlights was the Self Care – Good Sleep experience. Samsung demonstrated how Galaxy Watch and Galaxy Ring track sleep quality and environmental conditions, while connected home devices automatically adjust settings to enhance rest.
Using AI, appliances such as the Bespoke AI WindFree™ Pro Air Conditioner and Infinite AI Air Purifier fine-tune temperature, airflow, and air quality—without manual input—to create an ideal sleep environment.
Digital creator Tristen Menzies shared his impression:
“Samsung’s AI feels natural. It works with your lifestyle instead of interrupting it—and that’s exactly how AI should be.”
Family Health Care: AI Support for Every Generation
Early Detection and Prevention of Cognitive Decline
Samsung also showcased AI tools designed to support aging family members. In the Family Care – Brain Health section, AI analyzed lifestyle data collected from smartphones and wearables to help detect early signs of cognitive decline.
By monitoring indicators such as speech patterns, typing behavior, gait, sleep habits, and daily movement, the system can alert caregivers when subtle changes appear. Beyond detection, Samsung’s AI also recommends brain-training activities aimed at maintaining cognitive health and promoting independent living.
SmartThings Pet Care: AI Health Monitoring for Pets
Samsung’s care ecosystem extends beyond humans. With SmartThings Pet Care, AI helps identify potential health issues in pets, including cataracts, dental disease, and joint conditions.
By analyzing photos taken with guided on-screen instructions, the system offers early insights into a pet’s well-being—giving owners peace of mind and encouraging timely veterinary checkups.
AI-Powered Home Monitoring for Enhanced Safety
Home security took center stage with Samsung’s AI Home Monitoring solution. Using Vision AI, connected devices such as smart TVs and refrigerators with built-in cameras can detect unusual or potentially dangerous situations.
When homeowners are away, the system:
-
Analyzes video and audio for safety risks
-
Sends real-time alerts to smartphones
-
Summarizes flagged events for later review
-
Identifies whether detected individuals are known contacts or unfamiliar faces
This intelligent monitoring allows users to stay connected to their home—anytime, anywhere.
Media contributor Dr. Rob Longwell noted:
“What impressed me most is how seamlessly Samsung’s devices work together. It’s not just smart—it’s reassuring.”
Stronger Protection Through Smart Partnerships
The Care Companion experience concluded by highlighting Samsung’s expanding ecosystem of partner devices, including smart sensors, cameras, and door locks. These integrations reinforce Samsung’s commitment to open collaboration, ensuring broader compatibility and enhanced safety across different smart home environments.
The Future of AI-Driven Care
With Care Companion, Samsung delivers a compelling vision of AI that prioritizes trust, prevention, and well-being. By unifying health insights, home intelligence, and family monitoring into one ecosystem, Samsung is shaping a future where technology actively supports safer and healthier living.
As Samsung continues to expand its AI ecosystem, the company aims to deliver experiences users can rely on—making care more intuitive, connected, and human-centered than ever before.
