The new technology will allow healthcare providers to directly communicate with their patients using Drop In and calling features, without entering their room.

Amazon noted that this feature will help hospitals to increase their productivity and enable them to minimise the usage of medical supplies such as gloves, masks, and gowns.

Additionally, the staff will get free time to provide more personalised care.

Boston Children’s Hospital, Cedars-Sinai, BayCare, and Houston Methodist are implementing Alexa Smart Properties to provide better care for their patients.

Cedars-Sinai Medical and Surgical Services executive director Peachy Hain said: “Voice is intuitive for patients, regardless of age or tech savviness.

“Since it’s so easy to operate, patients can use Alexa to connect with their care team and stay entertained as soon as they settle in, while care providers can streamline tasks to make more time to care for those patients. It’s a total gamechanger for enhancing our hospital experience.”
