Abstract
Home healthcare is the new industry where voice assistants are making their way, by increasing efficiency and offering a new experience filled with a wide range of tools and capabilities. Newly developed voice enabled applications made it more convenient for patients to access medical information, monitor and analyze health issues and communicate with the caretaker, which is especially beneficial for the elderly patients. This paper showcases the patient-focused voice and web services developed for Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant and pinpoint the benefits of this technology in healthcare in the comfort of the patient's home.
