How Alexa Is Changing Healthcare

Migraine Buddy, from Singapore-based Healint, uses sensor technology, analytics and machine learning to track all aspects of these chronic, severe headaches. Able to store patient-reported data in real time, the platform generates a history that patients can share with their physicians to understand and treat the condition. "We aim to provide an artificial-intelligence powered navigation system that enables each patient to obtain the best possible treatment at any point in time," explains Francois Cadiou Healint founder and CEO and author of a study that collected data from 1,500 Migraine Buddy users. Accessible via iOS and Android mobile devices and tablets, it includes pure voice control via Amazon's Alexa.
