Et tu Apple Watch: Integrating Siri with an AI engine to reduce patient wait time

The Patient is in apps integrate with Siri to provide a voice interface for messaging between the doctor and the charge nurse. This includes listening to patient assignments, rejecting an assignment, accepting an assignment and providing an estimated time of arrival, and lastly notifying the charge nurse of assignment completion which allows the staff to start the cleaning process to reduce the wait time for the next patient. On the iPhone, this enables the doctor to use AirPods or other Bluetooth headsets to remotely manage patient assignments exclusively with her voice. For shorter distances, the "Hey Siri" voice trigger also works well and that is the exclusive technique for hands-free voice control on the Apple Watch as of watchOS 3.2.
