Furthermore, the emergence of Voice Assistant into healthcare has concluded that the three highest-value use cases are clinic documentation, remote care, and clinic support. All these technological advancements have made the industry to become the fastest growing industry in the data generation. Today, one of the main challenges that the healthcare industry faced is medication and appointment nonadherence which has impacted the industry severely in terms of numbers of deaths and cost. Building on the Amazon Echo Show, medTrack (a medication and appointment adherence system) aims to tackle on this issue through reminding the patient of their medication and appointment schedule at the designated time. This report documents the whole development and implementation process of the project in details. This includes describing the research findings, problem identification, project development, evaluation of the project, and lastly the conclusion to wrap up the content.
