Hand Wash Smartwatch App

If you own a Galaxy Smartwatch or Galaxy Watch Active then don’t forget to have this app. The app is named as “Hand Wash” & it sends an alert of washing hands for 25 seconds several times a day. This duration of seconds includes 5 seconds to apply soap on hands. While the remaining 20 seconds are for washing your hands. App also has a watch face feature that allows checking the previous schedule of washing hands.

World Health Organization and other Medical Experts have recommended washing hands for 20 seconds. So the app meets this standard pretty well here. Team of Software Developers from Samsung Research Institute-Bangalore have created this app within 2 weeks. As well as they did work on app from their home.

Samsung is not alone in introducing this sort of smartwatch app, Google has also introduced Google Timer (40 Seconds) for Wear OS (Previously Known as Android Wear). As a tech enthusiast, I love the way companies and developers are investing time & money to invent such things which can play a role in avoiding diseases and saving precious lives.
