Introduction In recent years, the spread of dengue fever has become a significant public health concern worldwide. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is not exempt from this mosquito-borne disease, with an increasing number of cases reported each year. To address this issue, the King Saud Medical City (KSAMC) is stepping up its efforts by finalizing a comprehensive program to combat dengue. This article will explore the steps being taken by KSAMC and the impact they hope to achieve in fighting this disease. The Challenge of Dengue Fever Dengue fever is caused by the dengue virus, which is primarily transmitted through the bite of the Aedes mosquito. The symptoms can range from mild flu-like symptoms to severe dengue hemorrhagic fever, which can be fatal. With no specific treatment available, prevention and control are crucial to reducing the impact of dengue. KSAMC's Approach to Combat Dengue The King Saud Medical City has recognized the importance of a multi-faceted approach to c...
At IFA 2023, Samsung is presenting its expanded home appliance portfolio for the home appliances sector.
In the areas of washing/drying and cooling, the focus is on energy efficiency, connectivity, the use of artificial intelligence with SmartThings and Bespoke Life.
The new intelligent, networked devices are intended to make everyday work in the household easier - at the same time, energy and resources are saved thanks to better energy efficiency classes, adjusted energy consumption and the use of AI Energy Mode.
The microplastics program and the microplastic filter for front-loading models and washing machines from other manufacturers also enable further resource protection when washing.
“Our expanded portfolio combines convenience, resource protection and lifestyle,” said Diana Diefenbach, Senior Manager Technical Product Management and Communication at Samsung Electronics.
"The gadgets have become considerably more smart, more organized and more asset efficient.
Energy efficiency and sustainable technologies continue to be central purchasing criteria for consumers, as evidenced not least by the latest GfK Sustainability Index.
With our broad portfolio, you now have a larger selection to find the device that suits your life and living situation.
The SmartThings AI Energy Mode analyzes e.g. B. that in the evening the refrigerator door is opened particularly often and for a long time.
It controls the compressor accordingly and has learned from usage behavior when it is worth cooling the refrigerator down completely again.
In addition, there is an intelligent logic for automatic defrosting, which only starts when a certain amount of ice is detected. In this way, thanks to the AI Energy Mode, energy savings of up to 15 percent are possible.
All Samsung WiFi-enabled cooling devices work with the AI Energy Mode of the SmartThings app.
The series of RS8000 side-by-sides, which already has the currently best energy efficiency class C for side-by-sides, is being expanded to include the color Premium Black Steel.
The expanded cooling device line-up stands out not only because of its very good energy efficiency classes, but also because of its integration into the SmartThings ecosystem.
The SmartThings Home Care function can be used to check the status of the refrigerator.
Maintenance instructions, such as: B. changing the water filter or an error message are displayed directly on the smartphone or tablet.
The SmartThings Cooking function of the SmartThings app also provides users with recommendations on how to properly store food and helps them make the right purchase by using the app to see what is still in stock in the refrigerator.
The WiFi-enabled Samsung washing machines can help reduce resource consumption in the long term.
Users can view the energy consumption of their washing machines on a daily basis via SmartThings Energy.
The service can help reduce consumption intelligently.
To do this, the AI Energy Mode analyzes the consumption data and creates individual energy profiles to provide personalized tips for adjusting energy consumption.
A number of other models are also equipped with the laundry and energy-saving Ecobubble technology.
The intelligent tuning of the algorithm reduces the mechanical stress on the fibers during the washing program and reduces fabric abrasion thanks to fine foam bubbles that cushion the drum movement.
In addition, with the same washing performance, up to 70 percent less energy is consumed due to the reduced washing temperature.
In this way, energy can be saved compared to a 90°C wash cycle, in which the washing machine needs a large part of the electricity to heat the cold water to the required temperature.
Fewer rinses than in other washing programs also reduce water consumption and thus also curb microfibre emissions. The technology is available as standard in the new WW5100T and WW5300T models. The current washing machine line-up with energy efficiency class A with the intelligent digital inverter motors has also been supplemented by new models with a capacity of 8 kg (WW5100T) or 9 kg (WW5300T).

The new microplastic washing program is available as a preset option on WiFi-enabled and Ecobubble-equipped Samsung machines, as well as in the new WW5000C model, and can be activated with just the touch of a button. Compatible WiFi-enabled Samsung existing models receive automatic updates via SmartThings.
The external microplastic filter from Samsung and Patagonia, which according to Samsung can retain up to 132 grams of microfibers per washing machine per year, can also be retrofitted to all front-loading models from Samsung and other manufacturers. Installation is easy by connecting the microplastic filter to the washing machine's drain pipe. The operation of the microplastic filter can be monitored separately via the SmartThings app.
Samsung also wants to make around 90 percent of its household appliance line-up WiFi-enabled by 2024 and thus further advance networking in the home. “We are convinced that artificial intelligence and connectivity can make our customers’ everyday households easier than we currently believe the technology can be,” emphasized Diana Diefenbach.
