Alexa Will Soon Help You Seek Medical Assistance

Amazon has partnered with telemedicine provider Teladoc Health.

Is there a doctor in the house? There is for everyone who owns an Amazon Echo device. The company has partnered with telemedicine provider Teladoc Health for a voice-activated virtual care program. It lets customers get medical help without picking up their phones. The service is for health issues that aren’t emergencies and will be available around the clock on amazon echo devices. Customers can tell the voice assistant Alexa that they want to talk to a doctor which will then prompt a call back on the device from a Teladoc physician.
