Now Hospitals can be called through Voice Assistance

As we all know Artificial Intelligence is growing and plenty of updates recently have been made for this, whether we talk about Google or Amazon all of them are making the system more compatible with the human world.

Amazon Alexa has a new skill which is HIPAA (Health insurance portability and accountability act) which has opened new doors for the new world in terms of health Apps, digital health start-ups and others to manage patient data through voice.

New health care skills are now available from the following health companies.

• Providence St. Joseph Health

• Livongo

• Express Scripts

• Cigna

• Boston Children’s Hospital

• Atrium Health

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) manages how health companies collect and use patient information. The challenge of working within this legal framework has been a major hurdle for the development of digital health tool.

As Amazon is continuously working on the development and also overcoming the new challenges they have faced for developing voice technology they have added this Application to their compliance.

According to the executive vice president and chief digital officer Aaron Martin “Voice is going to be a big part of the future in all areas of our lives, including health and health care. We’re excited to be one of the first health systems in the U.S. to build Alexa skills that help our patients connect to our providers and get faster access to care”.
