What Was That Again?

As a physician, Intellidoc’s Dr. Jacqueline Darna is a very busy working mother. One day she remembers using voice-activated telemedicine to seek help for her son’s allergies.

She said out loud, “I wish there was a listening device that made a shopping cart with all the over-the-counter suggestions that the doctor made, so I can just push ‘buy now’ to either pick them up at my local pharmacy along with the prescription medication or have them sent directly to my door.”

Darna has tested Intellidoc extensively with people who have a variety of accents and native languages, and it seems pretty good at recognizing their speech. The system could also be a great tool for patients with hearing loss.
