Los Angeles [USA], Feb 26 (ANI): Hospitals are perhaps the best places for the use of smart speakers. Cedars-Sinai, a non-profit hospital in Los Angeles, is looking at adding a touch of smart to the patient rooms.
In order to understand the potential of using Alexa to make healthcare better, Cedars-Sinai has enabled more than 100 patient rooms with the voice assistant-powered platform called as Aiva, the hospital announced in its official blog.
The platform allows patients to control their entertainment and interact hands-free with nurses. It is the world’s first patient-cantered voice assistant platform for hospitals.
Cedars-Sinai is running the pilot where Amazon’s smart voice-enabled assistant Alexa is at disposal of the patients through the smart speakers, who can instruct it to control their TVs, play music, check weather, read the news, or call out to the nurses for help with medicine or to use the restroom.
The commands have been designed in such a manner that patient’s requests through Alexa are routed to the mobile phone of the relevant caregiver. Only the registered nurse will receive the pain medicine request while a bathroom request would be routed to a clinical partner. (ANI)

Curapod review: The Future of at-home pain management?

Curapod review: The Future of at-home pain management?

The Curapod by Litemed operates on the principles of Photobiomodulation (PBM). To simplify, it utilizes a combination of red and near-infrared (NIR) light. These specific wavelengths are designed to penetrate up to 70mm into the tissue. Unlike a standard heat pack, which is commonly seen in almost every household and only provides surface-level relief, Curapod targets cellular activity and local blood flow to support the body's natural recovery process. It is a non-invasive, drug-free approach aimed at common pain points like the lower back, knees, and shoulders.

Review: Cooking the future with upliance 2.0 - A worthy kitchen upgrade?

I like cooking; it works like meditation for me. The process of preparing and gathering ingredients, imagining new possibilities, and eventually enjoying the meal brings me genuine happiness. I always keep an eye on new market trends, so when I heard about the upliance 2.0, I was intrigued--especially by the strong AI element. This next-generation 'kitchen companion' promises to take the guesswork out of cooking while operating 40% faster than the previous model. After testing the product and whipping up several dishes, here is my take on whether this INR 39,999 appliance deserves a spot on your counter.
