Now we are being encouraged to ask Alexa instead of seeing a doctor.
Patients are being encouraged to ask Alexa instead of seeing a doctor. Britons have been urged by Health Secretary Matt Hancock to use Alexa for common illnesses.
Alexa can now provide information from the NHS website. But those critical of the suggestion say it could have disastrous results and put GP’s under more pressure. The device could fail to spot deadly diseases like sepsis. It could also put people off seeking proper medical help.
Mr. Hancock believes that it will enable patients to take better care of there health and reduce the pressure on hardworking GP’s and pharmacists.
