If you’re like most people, you probably have an Echo device in your home. And if you’re a doctor, you may be using it to talk to your patients. Amazon has just announced that it’s adding a new feature to the Echo that lets you talk to a doctor through the device. This is great for when you need to get someone’s opinion on a patient or want to ask them questions about their health. You can also use the Echo for other purposes, like controlling your home’s lights or music.
Of course, you can always go to the Teledoc app or website to get the same functionality, which means you don’t need to own an Alexa-based device. But if you have one, it’s a quick way to get in touch with a doctor.
It won’t cost any extra to use Teledoc through Alexa, so the price will depend on your insurance. It could be as little as $0 and as high as $75 if you don’t have insurance at all.
