Amazon Alexa to answer questions on health
토픽 원문
Technology has taken another step in helping us with our healthcare. We can now
ask the digital device Alexa for advice if we are worried about our health.
Alexa is a virtual assistant created by the website Amazon.com. It is capable
of listening to people and answering their questions. As well as voice
interaction capabilities, Alexa can make to-do lists, play music upon voice
request, and give us the latest news. Now Alexa can answer our health queries.
Amazon has linked up with the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK to add
a health advice capability to the software. Alexa will be able to search the
NHS website for information and find an answer that is agreed on by many health
experts.
Alexa’s new health advice capability has been met with a mixed response. The UK
Health Secretary said: “Technology like this is a great example of how people
can access reliable, world-leading advice from the comfort of their home,
reducing the pressure on our hardworking doctors and pharmacists.”
He added: “We want to empower every patient to take better control of their
healthcare.” Other people say we need to be careful about trusting the advice
of a piece of software. They say we must go to a human doctor if we have
serious health problems. Other people are concerned about privacy. The group
Big Brother Watch is worried about hacking.
It said: “It’s a data protection disaster waiting to happen.”
