    Enhancing employee and customer experiences in the retail setting

    In the retail sector, smartphone employees can personalize customer experiences on the sales floor, including checking the pricing, availability, and location of products, ringing up customers, and processing payments. If items are out of stock, sales associates can use their smartphones to find the products at other nearby locations or order them online for customers.

    When retail staff are busy assisting customers, smartphone batteries can drain fast. But that’s where the Samsung Galaxy A15’s battery shines. A Galaxy A15 battery can last up to two days on a single charge. And when employees need to charge their phones, Galaxy A15 has Super Fast Charging* capabilities.

    If retail workers are near store windows assisting customers in bright sunlight, Galaxy A15’s high-definition resolution display and enhanced brightness ensure optimal visibility. The screen’s low blue light promotes all-day eye comfort, even during extended usage.

    Strengthening day-to-day hotel operations in hospitality management

    By issuing smartphones to hospitality staff, hotels can improve communication and better manage hotel operations, such as housekeeping and maintenance, resulting in improved guest services and more efficient operations.

    With a Galaxy A15, for example, housekeepers can check their schedules on their mobile phones to see which rooms they need to clean. When they finish cleaning a room, they can mark it as clean, providing supervisors with real-time updates on progress.

    Staff can also manage hotel maintenance on their phones. Managers can create work orders and prioritize requests, while staff can provide real-time updates and send alerts when tasks are completed.

    In both cases, Galaxy A15’s fast processor, ample RAM and 5G speeds allow hospitality staff to access apps and data quickly. The phone’s high-capacity battery and intelligent power management lets employees accomplish all their tasks and still have battery life at the end of their workday.

    Staying secure with Samsung’s Galaxy A15 mobile device

  • How Thunderbolt 4 is changing monitor technology

    Not long ago, Thunderbolt 3 was the latest and greatest technology because it combined Thunderbolt, USB, DisplayPort, Ethernet and power via a single USB-C connector. Thunderbolt 4, released in 2020, raised the game even higher — with all of the benefits of Thunderbolt 3 but also the ability to send local area network (LAN) signals between devices.

    One look at a typical workstation in nearly any working environment is enough to explain the allure of this technology. Where there is typically a messy tangle of cables to operate a monitor and peripherals, there can be one cord doing just about everything instead.

    Besides decluttering workstations, Thunderbolt 4 is less expensive than other connection technologies and supports desktop IT demands, such as greater data transfer speeds — eight times faster than conventional USB 3.0 cables. Thunderbolt 4 monitors have everything in one bundle.

    A monitor is, by nature, the center of attention and activity at any desk — but with a Thunderbolt 4 port, it becomes a command center. Here’s how.

    What is Thunderbolt 4?

    Often, there is confusion when comparing Thunderbolt vs. USB-C, as the terms are commonly used interchangeably. However, they are not the same.

    USB-C refers to the physical port used for connecting and powering devices. That port is the product of an industry-developed standard, USB 3.1, intended to streamline the many cables typically found at a workstation into a single cable that does all the work while improving performance.

    Thunderbolt 4, meanwhile, is a powerful connectivity standard that uses both USB-C ports and the USB 3.1 standard. In other words, a Thunderbolt 4 connector and cable uses USB 3.1, but a USB-C connector isn’t necessarily Thunderbolt 4.

    Some devices and cables that use USB-C can only connect, as older versions of USB have done for many years. A USB-C device that uses Thunderbolt 4, however, has a wide range of capabilities that make computing simpler and faster for business users and IT administrators. So, while comparisons between Thunderbolt and USB-C are common, Thunderbolt 4 offers far more capabilities.

    You’ll know a cable is Thunderbolt 4 if there’s a lightning bolt icon on the connector tip. A standard USB-C cable will just have the familiar three-pronged USB logo.

    Thunderbolt 4 takes USB 3.1 and optimizes its potential. It has all the USB-C single connector benefits, plus blazing fast data transfers — 40GB/s — on the same cable while doing other work.

    Using Thunderbolt 4 means:

    • Charging with up to 90W power delivery
    • Data transfers eight times faster than USB 3.0 (you could transfer a 4K movie in less than 30 seconds)
    • Sending a LAN signal by connecting the LAN cable to a monitor
    • Four times more video bandwidth than HDMI
    • Backups of entire music archives in a few minutes

    Thunderbolt 3 vs. 4: Key differences

    The leap from Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 4 includes several key improvements. Here’s a quick breakdown of the advantages of Thunderbolt 3 vs. 4:

    Screen expansion: Thunderbolt 4 can support 4K on dual monitors and 8K on a single monitor. By comparison, Thunderbolt 3 can also support 4K on dual monitors but only 5K on a single monitor.

    Data transfer: With even faster transfer speeds, Thunderbolt 4 supports a PCIe® data transfer speed of up to 32GB/s, double the data transfer speed of Thunderbolt 3 monitors (16GB/s PCIe).

    Sleep mode: A new feature on Thunderbolt 4 allows users to wake up their laptop with an external keyboard or mouse. As long as the peripheral devices are connected via the Thunderbolt 4 port, it’s simple to wake up the screen and jump back into work.

    The benefits of Thunderbolt 4

    One connection from a laptop or desktop PC to a Thunderbolt 4-ready monitor enables full office productivity. Power, data and display transmissions all happen via that single cable, and all peripherals and devices are connected, too.

    Connecting a Thunderbolt 4 cable from the PC to the monitor provides a high-speed, 8K-ready display signal and supports multiple peripherals. Thunderbolt 4 is also bidirectional: While the cable sends a signal and commands to the screen, the screen can send back power to charge the laptop.

    Some monitors that support Thunderbolt 4 have more than one USB-C connector at the rear, so they can connect to a PC while the second port does something else, like daisy chaining the signal to a second screen. The monitor can also become a USB hub, with conventional USB ports that connect peripherals like a mouse and an external keyboard.

    A fully equipped Thunderbolt 4 monitor largely eliminates the need for a docking station at a work desk, which is great for large businesses, as a single docking station can be costly. Docking stations are peripheral devices with software drivers and firmware, so they sometimes need updating and troubleshooting. USB-C reduces connections and, therefore, their potential to loosen, break or go missing.

    One of the simplest attractions of using USB-C connectors is the reversible oval connector, which has no top or bottom. There’s no more inadvertently bending or breaking parts because they don’t fit, which means lower replacement costs and productivity loss.

    Taking full advantage of Thunderbolt ports

    It’s important for businesses and individuals upgrading their monitors to understand the differences between Thunderbolt 4 and USB-C. This way, they don’t accidentally buy something that looks like it supports Thunderbolt 4 but doesn’t.

    Here’s what to look for:

    • Cables: A Thunderbolt 4 cable is different from a USB-C cable. Their connectors are the same, but even a genuine USB-C cable that’s fully USB 3.1-compatible will have slower data transfer speeds than Thunderbolt 4. Look for the lightning bolt on the connector end and buy from a familiar brand. An inexpensive offshore cable may have a lightning bolt but no capabilities.
    • PCs: It’s good for a laptop to have a USB-C port, but the port doesn’t guarantee the laptop supports all of the USB-C standard’s capabilities. PC Magazine found that some manufacturers haven’t fully developed their graphics hardware to optimize USB-C connections. In other words, you may still need a VGA or HDMI cable to connect to certain displays. Also, not all laptops or desktop PCs will support power input through a USB-C port.
    • Monitors: As you sift through monitor options, evaluate USB-C power delivery support, which lets a user connect one USB-C cable from their laptop to the monitor, support multiple peripherals and simultaneously charge their laptop. This added functionality gives employees peace of mind during the workday since they won’t need to scramble for a charging cord.

    Function meets form

    There are still very few Thunderbolt 4 monitor options on the market. Samsung ViewFinity TU874 features two Thunderbolt 3 ports. Users can easily expand their screen by connecting compatible monitors for a dual ultra-high-definition (UHD) setup, all while charging their devices with a single cable.

    To level up to Thunderbolt 4, look to the Samsung S65TC 34-inch monitor. Its widescreen, curved display is tailored to users who need a big canvas and enough power to work on one or multiple demanding tasks at once easily. With multiple ports, including Thunderbolt 4, built-in speakers and TÜV certification for intelligent eye care, Samsung S65TC ups the productivity ante.

  • Virtual nursing technology: How the right monitors enhance patient care

    Virtual nursing, like telehealth, has become a crucial part of health systems in recent years and is expected to continue growing. Both improve access to healthcare for people who can’t easily travel to medical facilities, especially those living in rural areas or with mobility challenges. It also ensures continuity of care by connecting patients with the nurses they know and who are familiar with their needs.

    It’s not a new idea, either. For example, Samsung helped St. Luke’s Health System develop a 24/7 virtual platform in 2018. Based in Boise, the facility built a virtual care center that connects nurses with rural care providers and their patients to make care more accessible.

    This need for virtual nursing is only increasing, especially as nurse shortages persist and potentially overwhelm existing staff. Virtual nursing helps healthcare organizations address these challenges, especially when paired with the right technology to succeed. Here’s how.

    Relieving the burden on nurses

    Virtual nursing reduces the strain on floor nurses, allowing them to focus more on direct patient care. In fact, a single nurse or clinical staff member can monitor multiple rooms at a time from a desktop monitor. They can speak with each patient and notify the staff if anything goes wrong.

    With the right tools, a virtual nurse can take on almost any task that involves putting a nurse in front of a computer. For example, some hospitals are turning to virtual discharges, as a remote nurse or case manager can provide thorough, unrushed discharge education. This reduces the burden on floor nurses, improving productivity and giving them more time to focus on in-person care.

    Many floor nurses report that virtual care helps them better balance their workload, and their patients appreciate the more focused attention from the on-site care team. That was the case with Nashville-based HCA Healthcare, which launched several virtual nursing pilots to great success. Virtual nurses proved especially valuable in admissions, medication history, discharge education and rounding.

    Ochsner Health in Louisiana piloted its virtual nurse model in a community hospital, allowing a remote nurse — sometimes working from home — to collaborate with the patient team. This approach helps hospitals efficiently allocate resources, enhance care quality and reduce readmissions, according to The Online Journal of Issues in Nursing. The pilots have increased nurses’ work satisfaction and improved retention.

    Encouraging nurses to stay in the workforce

    More than a quarter of all nurses report that they plan to leave nursing or retire over the next five years, according to the National Nursing Workforce Survey. It’s part of a trend: Between 2020 and 2022, the workforce lost at least 200,000 experienced RNs and 60,000 experienced LPNs/LVNs.

    Virtual models can keep nurses in the workplace longer by allowing them to remain in direct patient care roles without the physical demands of hospital floor work, notes the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This is especially beneficial for nurses nearing retirement. Virtual models help these experienced nurses continue providing expert care while sharing their institutional knowledge, without the physical strain of bedside care.

    Remote nurse, remote patients

    Advances in digital health technology make it possible for hospitals to better manage acute and long-term conditions for patients where they are. Remote nursing supports hospital-at-home models, allowing nurses to provide care in the patient’s own home. For example, Massachusetts General Brigham offers virtual care services seven days a week for health issues that don’t require emergency care, and they are available to anyone with an internet connection and compatible device.

    Research published by BMC Health Services indicates that this approach can reduce mortality and hospital readmissions. That, then, frees up beds and staff to focus on more critical and emergency cases.

    Monitors are key to virtual nursing success

    Success in virtual nursing technology requires the right technology — especially the right monitors. That’s because virtual care monitors need to accomplish more tasks than typical hospital monitors, including the need to monitor several patients at one time and offer comfort to nurses who must sit there for long hours.

    These considerations and others went into the design of Samsung’s 34-inch ViewFinity S65VC monitor. Its ultra-wide QHD curved display matches the human field of vision, bringing all relevant information into view at once. Using the ViewFinity S65VC, a nurse can monitor multiple patient rooms from a single screen — and at eye level, thanks to the adjustable stand. The curve also reduces eye strain, and TUV-certified Intelligent Eye Care technology enhances that by minimizing blue light exposure.

    Samsung designed this monitor for ease of use, too. Its plug-and-play setup enables nurses to easily connect any device to the monitor with a USB-C port and transmit data through a single cable. The same connection charges your device, which allows you to power your device and transmit data with a single cable. A LAN port also enables connection to a LAN-less laptop for Ethernet use.

    The monitor’s camera and speakers make launching virtual sessions a snap, and when they’re finished, the camera can be retracted for security and confidentiality. Windows Hello facial recognition software adds another layer to that.

    Virtual nursing: A force multiplier

    With the right technology, such as Samsung’s ViewFinity S65VC monitor, virtual nursing becomes a force multiplier. One experienced nurse can support many colleagues and even more patients. This enhances patient care, boosts nurse satisfaction and helps ensure continuity of care. More importantly, it translates to more positive patient outcomes.

    With Auto Switch enabled and your Buds paired with any and all of your Galaxy devices — such as a Galaxy Book4 Series business laptop — Galaxy Buds3 or Galaxy Buds3 Pro will automatically switch between devices based on the action at hand. For example, if you’re watching a video on your PC and a colleague calls you on your phone, your Buds will be activated when you pick up the call, with no manual toggling needed. Likewise, when you hang up the call and return to watching the video on your Galaxy Book4, your Buds will switch back on their own.

    Auto Switch is designed for seamless multitasking. With Galaxy Buds3, you can hear and be heard clearly during work calls, thanks to advanced audio technology that filters out background noise, ensuring your voice stands out. This perfectly complements the studio-grade mic introduced with the Galaxy Book4 Ultra, Pro, and Pro 360 models, which use AI noise canceling. Even if you need to take a video call in a busy place, your Galaxy Buds3 will let you hear it all while using the wide-angle FHD camera on the Galaxy Book4 Ultra and enjoying its huge 16-inch AMOLED display. And with Galaxy Z Fold6’s FlexMode, you can videoconference hands-free using your Galaxy Buds3.

    2. Home screen widget

    Most of us keep our phones on our desks while working on our business laptops to see incoming calls and texts, follow the news, check the weather, and maybe keep an eye on our favorite sports teams. Home screen widgets allow you to quickly see information and access apps without unlocking your phone.

    Widgets are one of the many ways to customize your home screens on Galaxy Z Fold6. The Buds widget is a no-brainer if you own a pair of Buds. With it, you can monitor your Buds’ battery charge and adjust the Noise and Touch controls from your foldable’s home screen.

    Noise controls include active noise canceling and ambient sound. Active noise canceling blocks out background distractions, while ambient noise lets a little more of that noise in, so you still know what’s happening around you. Either option is useful to help you find the level of ambient noise that helps you focus best in your work environment.

    Touch controls occur when you tap, double tap, triple tap or touch and hold one of your Buds. You can customize these controls from the home screen widget rather than navigating to the Galaxy Wearable app.

    If someone stops by your desk to chat, you can turn down your Buds’ volume on the widget instead of fumbling to take them out. And when you’re ready to return to work, use the widget to switch back to your work mode music. Really need to focus? Enable Active noise canceling. All of the above can be accessed directly from the Buds widget. Find and install the widget by tapping any empty area on the home screen, then tapping Widgets and swiping up to add Buds.

    3. Galaxy Watch

    If you like your Galaxy smartphone and Galaxy Book4, you’ll really love how Galaxy Buds3 work in harmony with them — and if you enjoy having Galaxy Buds3, you’ll love having a new Galaxy Watch7 or Watch Ultra to round out your Galaxy ecosystem and maximize your productivity. With a Galaxy Watch, you can receive notifications, answer calls and texts, and control your Buds, all from your wrist. It’s the ideal wearable to power even more productivity in your workday.
