Voice First, AI, Who cares ?
We might be inspired by Vietnamese culture to produce a "Care Reminder" app/skill. There are apparently no CCRCs in Vietnam. I am told it is customary when addressing a large group to first ask: "how are your parents?" The app/skill could use ones profile to personalize the reminder with nicknames, videos, and photos. The idea is to induce one to divert attention from social clique sites, cocooning news feeds, game apps or other more gratuitous distractions, and direct attention to a communication with a loved one. Has this been tried? Maybe the the so-called digital divide is more of a bridge that isn't being used properly by people who are not care savvy. If this fails, a more intelligent app might provide a more complete care solution.
