Other VoiceDoc Features

Role Identification – There will be a unique PIN generated for each of the Doctors, Nurses and Dietitians. They will have to enter their PIN to interact with Alexa or any other voice assistant to give voice commands.

Data Security -All the voice interactions are processed through Amazon Alexa’s
Voice Cloud Server or the respective voice assistant’s corresponding ecosystem. With this, the voice interactions remain as anonymous and no vendor (like VoiceDoc for that matter) will be able to keep a track of the interactions or any other confidential data mapped to a user.

How does the QR code work?

QR codes are an interesting piece of technology, mainly used for information exchange and payments. In our application we use them to read and share prescriptions easily across systems and devices. All prescriptions sit in a centralized database connected to our database of coupons. We curate the coupon database as and when new ones get added by the pharma companies. It can lead to tangible and impactful savings for the patients. We extract the patient information and prescription details and generate a QR code.

How does it work?

  1. The Physician enters the prescription in the EHR or directly into PrescriptionBuddy.
  2. PrescriptionBuddy generates a QR code for any available coupons which are provided to the pharmacy and a unique 10 digit code for a reminder schedule.
  3. The 10 digit code is spoken into a voice enabled device to activate the reminder plan created by the physician.
  4. Several devices may be used for the reminder schedule speakers, mobile phones or Alexa show and Google Mini Hub.
  5. Patient can reorder supplies once they are exhausted.

The app facilitates seamless interaction between patients and physicians to deliver advantages like access to lower cost of drugs, better adherence to scheduled medicine intake, and prompt refilling
