Voice Technology and Wearables: Remote Patient Monitoring
Audrey Arbeeny · Productivity Press eBooks · 2022
The advent of many developments in the digital space and the focus on devices have laid out a landscape of opportunities in Voice Technology and Wearables. This segment is quickly growing and is very valuable to patients, healthcare providers, and caregivers. A new advancement is the talking blood pressure monitor. Major developers are expanding the capabilities that make it convenient for any patient or caregiver to use at home. These monitors also provide accessibility for the blind. They not only give readings, but they also provide verbal alerts when pressure is not within range, and give full verbal instruction in several languages. Roche Diagnostics’ CoaguChek Meter is an easy-to-use system that checks blood clotting time. A drop of blood on a test strip yields results that are displayed on an LCD screen; results are called in, and the user receives a remote voice response.
