Nowadays, taking prescriptions is easier than ever thanks to smart technology like digital calendars and reminders, but a newcomer might up the ante even more: Alexa. Thanks to a new update, Alexa can now remind you when to take your medicine. This has the potential to help millions of people live healthier lives, and can save users from having to watch the clock. But what else does Alexa have in store for you?
‘Alexa, refill my prescription’
All you’ll need to do is download the corresponding Alexa Skill for your pharmacy, register your account and set a passcode. Then you’ll be ready to stay on top of your healthcare with Alexa’s help. If you’re a Giant Eagle Pharmacy customer, just open the Alexa app on your phone and search for the skill. Once you’ve downloaded it, ask Alexa to open the skill and she’ll walk you through the setup process.
More to come from Alexa in 2020
You’ll have the ability to switch between different speaking styles when Alexa reads you the news or announces music that’s playing. You can choose from a crisp, news anchor-like speaking style to a whispery, laid back style, depending on your preference.
