However, this doesn’t work for many patients who have a medical condition such as vision or motion impairments. Other patients may struggle with literacy, which makes it difficult to read question prompts.
A hands-free voice interface would make a great alternative to traditional reporting methods for these patients, the blog post said.
Through a voice interface, the product will verify the patient’s identity, guide the patient to answer a set of questions and record their responses into a database.
The product is still in the testing stage, and it is unclear when it will be released.
