Doctors could soon face still competition from Amazon ’s smart assistant, Alexa , according to a new patent.
The technology firm has filed a patent for a new version of Alexa, which can detect when you’re ill and see you medicine.
To detect if you’re ill, the patent suggests that Alexa would analyse your speech, and suggest possible remedies.
For example, if you’re coughing and sneezing while speaking to Alexa, she may suggest you buy throat sweets or chicken soup.
