Speaking of what virtual assistants can do, let’s take a closer look at the everyday tasks that voice-controlled home assistants can perform to simplify the lives of seniors and help them make the most of their golden years.

FIRST-AID ADVICE

Just ask a question and your virtual assistant will give you all the professional help you need. For example, if you ask Alexa to look for Mayo Clinic recommendations on how to treat a bee sting, you will not only get a simple answer but a full-on tutorial. In fact, the Mayo Clinic has introduced a software that allows Echo users to get expert advice on their voice assistant about various first-aid related issues such as cuts, burns or insect bites.
