“Voice technology – or, more properly, voice-first technology – has captivated the world and opened the door to a number of improved healthcare outcomes in the process,” said Voice of Healthcare co-host Bradley Metrock. “The Voice of Healthcare Summit is focused on how this is happening right now, and the best practices that will shape the near-term future.”
Rowena Track, global vice president of Cigna and champion of the innovative "Answers By Cigna" Alexa skill, and Ilana Shalowitz, VUI design manager for Emmi Solutions (part of Wolters Kluwer Health), bookend The Voice of Healthcare Summit as keynote speakers.
Boston Children's Hospital, which created the first Alexa skill to be used in a hospital setting and which is regarded as one of the earliest innovators in voice, is also part of the program, along with experts from Orbita, Inc., the Hospital for Special Surgery, Aging in Place Technology Watch and The University of British Columbia.
