2. Nurse AMIE interacts with patients to address four key symptoms: pain, fatigue, sleep and psychosocial distress such as anxiety and depression.
3. Patients can open the skill on an Amazon Alexa Echo Show device each day and are given a questionnaire about their current symptoms; the device then generates recommended interventions such as guided meditation sessions and exercise videos.
4. Penn State researchers are conducting a controlled trial with metastatic breast cancer patients to learn more about the usability of the skill. The team hopes to expand Nurse AMIE-type support for other health issues.
