I had a parallel thought when a loved one was in the hospital. I noticed the nurses were so busy that small requests like an extra blanket were often forgotten entirely. How incredible would it be to have a voice system that would build a task list and capture other notable bits of information that the hospital staff could review on an integrated device (like a phone)?
Sadly, I don't see this ever happening due to the insane number of regulations you'd have to satisfy and the major players in this space only doing it to collect PII.

- Agingcoder 2y agoI find hospitals to be somewhat clueless when it comes to simple things like what you’re describing. When a relative of mine got hospitalized for a laryngectomy, post op she obviously couldn’t talk since her voice box was gone. She was either expected to learn to speak with her oesophagus ( doable but many people fail and it takes months ) or … remain mute. That’s when I introduced her to the wonders of text to speech. Soon after she was the star of the department, which had never considered this !
