Using Voice Assistants for Seniors
Voice assistant devices can be ideal for seniors who do not have
previous experience using technology such as iPads or smart phones. As
the seniors can speak with the devices in a natural and intuitive way,
the learning curve is much quicker than other types of technology.
Voice assistants for seniors offer numerous benefits including:
Communication - Through basic voice commands, residents can independently make outgoing and receive incoming voice & video calls to stay in touch with family, friends and support staff. This can save valuable time for facility staff who are arranging and routing calls. Residents and staff can use the intercom feature within the facility to chat with each other.
Ease of Use - Using voice commands, residents can have natural & intuitive conversations with technology, just like they would with a real person. With regular training and support, it's surprisingly easy for residents to grasp how to use voice assistant technology.
Reducing Loneliness - Intuitive voice technology can provide companionship with a ‘personality’ of its own.For seniors who live alone, a friendly voice available 24/7 to tell a joke or fun fact can be a comforting feeling and help reduce loneliness.
Cognitive Stimulation - Residents can ask the device to learn about historical events, play trivia games, sing a song, or read an audiobook. These games and virtual adventures can provide two-way mental stimulation, where face-to-face contact isn’t possible.
Memory - We assist residents with memory impairments to set reminders using simple voice commands. For example, a resident can say “Remember my doctors visit on Monday”.If they then forget, they can ask: “When is my doctors visit?”, or"Remember the wifi password is 9848732734"
Daily Planning - Residents can schedule their own calendar events such as birthdays, outings, social events, doctors’ visits, as well as daily reminders to take medication or exercise.Residents simply ask “What do I have planned today?” to get a daily schedule. Using a shared calendar, family and friends can also add appointments to the resident's calendar.
These devices can be funded by the Government for venerable seniors or people with disabilities who are participants in the NDIS Perth.
