Five simple words provide access to rehabilitation expertise
Grand Rapids, Mich. – With the first-ever Alexa Skill developed by a rehabilitative health care organization, people across the country can get help from Mary Free Bed experts with a simple voice command.
Would you like a list and description of outpatient services? Say “Services.”
Concerned about an injury or pain in a specific area of your body? Say “Assessment.”
Using Amazon’s digital assistant or the Alexa mobile app, access the Skill created by Mary Free Bed clinicians to guide you through a list of questions. Based on your responses, you’ll hear ways to manage your symptoms and learn simple exercises you can do at home.
Areas of injury and discomfort include:
- Hip, knee and ankle pain
- Low back, mid back and neck pain
- Shoulder and wrist pain
Mary Free Bed innovation team and health experts worked with technology company Aspirent to develop the Alexa Skill. It’s available on any Alexa-enabled devices such as Amazon Echo and Amazon Fire TV. You also can download the Alexa app on your smart phone.
