Webinar: The Role of Voice Assistants in Healthcare

Consumers have adopted virtual assistants by the millions to control their home environment, be entertained, and get answers to a variety of questions. This new modality is particularly attractive when your hands are busy or you simply are away from your phone or PC.

As the virtual assistant platforms evolve, consumers will be looking to leverage them to better manage their care. What are the early opportunities in leveraging voice in patient-facing digital and connected healthcare solutions? What are the pitfalls and risks? How do you manage patient privacy and security? What are future opportunities for voice as the platform evolves and matures? What are clinician facing opportunities that will emerge?

This webinar will provide an overview of voice technologies and provide an opportunity to explore how this should be considered as part of an overall innovation and product management strategy.
