Be there for your parent without asking all the time
For adults supporting a parent with a chronic condition: listen instead of checking up, prepare the doctor visit together, and stay in touch even from far away.
What do you need help with right now?
Which condition does your parent have?
Every condition has its own page for family members.
Which smartwatch suits your parent?
The finder asks briefly about budget and ease of use, then tells you honestly what a device can and cannot do. An Apple Watch, for example, does not measure blood pressure.
Care Circle in Sam
You see what your parent shares with you

- Read-only, ends any timeYou see the selection without editing it. Your parent can end the sharing at any time.

What family members often ask
Will my parent actually use Sam?+
That is their decision. The best approach is to offer to set it up together instead of prescribing it. Sam keeps symptoms and trends, and in the eight condition programs (each a diary with a doctor report) medication too, and turns them into a report for the doctor visit.
Can I see my parent's data?+
Only if your parent adds you in Care Circle and shares areas with you. You see them read-only, and the sharing can be ended at any time.
Is Care Circle a form of surveillance of my parent?+
No. Your parent decides what to share. You get no alerts about their data and no interpretation of the values.
Does Sam replace the doctor?+
No. Sam is a wellness companion, not a medical device. Sam makes no diagnoses and gives no treatment advice. A doctor makes the assessment.
Can a smartwatch measure blood pressure?+
An Apple Watch does not measure blood pressure. Validated upper-arm cuffs do. Ask the family doctor's practice which one fits.
What if my parent suddenly feels very unwell?+
For acute symptoms call your local emergency number (112 in the EU, 999 in the UK, 911 in the US) or your doctor's out-of-hours service. Sam is not meant for that.
Take care of your parents.
Sam keeps track of how the weeks went, so you both have something concrete to bring to the doctor.
Sam is a wellness companion, not a medical device. Sam does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition and does not replace a doctor. An Apple Watch does not measure blood pressure. For acute symptoms call your local emergency number (112 in the EU, 999 in the UK, 911 in the US); for less urgent questions, call your doctor's out-of-hours service.
