For the elderly, voice assistants don't just make communication easier. It also allows older people to connect with friends, family, and neighbors through hands-free calls and video calls to reduce loneliness. At the same time, it can remind all kinds of events of elderly users, making life more interesting.
“Voice technology is an opportunity to provide better medical services,†said Sumeet Bhatia, CEO of Aiva. “We are excited to work with the Google Assistant investment team to help expand our product range and provide better care for those most in need. ."
In recent years, with the maturity of voice technology and the entry of smart audio into American homes, the application of voice technology to health care services has emerged as a number of competitors, including Orbita, Robin Healthcare and Notable Health. Voice technology and smart audio manufacturers such as Google and Amazon are also happy to support such projects to enrich the service ecosystem of the smart speaker industry chain.
The voice technology platform in the medical service field is mostly aimed at the elderly care market. The reason is that the aging of the US population is already very serious, and with the old baby boomers after World War II, the population aging rate will continue to increase, and the demand for medical services will also increase. Increasingly rising.
The elderly population needs more simple and convenient medical and health services. Together with the perfect family doctor and pension insurance system, the combination of voice technology and old-age care can find enough users and service providers. It is a very good direction.
As far as the domestic market is concerned, no matter the aging of the population, the popularity of smart voice equipment, and the pilot of the pension insurance, there are many similarities with the US market. Previously, there have been health equipments for the elderly user groups in China – such as mobile phones or all-in-ones with functions such as calling functions, physical signs monitoring, and alarms. However, due to the immature timing of the industry, most of the projects have been stranded.
At present, there are already some mature voice technology companies in China, and voice technology has been applied to medical record entry, doctor-patient communication, patient follow-up, etc. If the care of the elderly is a good opportunity, I believe them. Will follow up very quickly.
