As voice technology transforms the way we live, how do highly regulated pharma and biotech organizations push the innovation envelope with today’s newest digital interface?  How does an entity solve a real-world problem by closing the gap between conceptualization and reality?

These questions catalyzed last year’s Merck-sponsored Alexa Diabetes Challenge which called on innovators to create Alexa voice-enabled solutions to improve the lives of those with type 2 diabetes. Nearly 100 teams participated. How did the challenge play out?  Where are the winners now? And what important lessons were learned?

Our presenters will discuss the Alexa Diabetes Challenge and explore:

 

  • Real-world examples of early voice-first use cases
  • Opportunities to leverage voice to streamline data collection, improve clinical trial engagement, increase treatment adherence, and optimize population health strategies
  • Applications of voice to support product development, enhance customer service and streamline business processes
  • Subtleties of developing for voice UX (vs. web and mobile)
  • What’s the role of voice in the world of smart sensors and connected homes?
