If there is no doctor in the house, Amazonโs Alexa will soon be able to summon one.
Amazon and telemedicine provider Teladoc Health are starting a voice-activated virtual care program that lets customers get medical help without picking up their phones.
The service, for health issues that arenโt emergencies, will be available around the clock on Amazonโs Echo devices. Customers can tell the voice assistant Alexa that they want to talk to a doctor, and that will prompt a call back on the device from a Teladoc physician.
