Challenges
Configuration and Management of Settings
Seniors and people with disabilities may find it difficult to navigate through multiple settings and configurations required in digital health applications.
The inability to easily configure settings can prevent effective monitoring of health conditions, leading to underutilization of potentially life-saving health monitoring features.
Complexity of Technology Usage
Elderly people often struggle with complex interfaces in smartphone apps and computer applications, which can deter them from effectively managing their health.
This complexity can lead to reduced engagement with health monitoring tools, potentially worsening health outcomes due to non-compliance or delayed responses to health issues.
.
Memory Reliance for Health Data
Keeping track of medical data such as blood pressure, blood sugar, and temperature requires consistent recording and recollection, which can be challenging for seniors.
Forgetting to take readings or to record them accurately can lead to incorrect health management decisions, potentially resulting in adverse health events.

Opportunity
We went through the extensive and detailed discovery process and created an intuitive voice experience - Alexa Skill.
Accuhealth Alexa Skill helps seniors initiate a callback from the call center, ask Alexa about their medical data: blood pressure, blood sugar, etc., and receive notifications that they need to get their daily readings using voice commands.
