Dr. Chris Landon, Clinical Adjunct Professor of Development and Behavioral Pediatrics at the Keck Medical School of University of Southern California and Director of Pediatrics at the Family Medicine Residency of Ventura County Medical Center, joins us for episode 15 of the Future of Voice Podcast!

Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, many hospitals and medical centers took leaps forward in the world of telemedicine and voice-enabled capabilities. Patients are now more familiar with video conferencing and consulting with their doctors through a digital screen – but there are still several key areas where the patient care gap remains.

This summer, we had the honor of welcoming Dr. Landon to our weekly Health, Wellness, & Life Sciences Community meeting for a special presentation on bridging the patient care gap with wearable devices and voice technology. We hope you enjoy this interview with Dr. Landon, Jon Stine, and several members of our HWLS Community!

Shilp Agarwal, Co-Founder and CEO of Blutag, returns for another episode of the Future of Voice Podcast!

The last time Shilp visited the podcast, we discussed the shopping experience and how voice might intersect with that customer journey. While many organizations equate the value of voice solely to the transaction, it’s Shilp’s philosophy that there’s much more value that can be generated aside from just revenue – including tasks and preferences that make up a customer’s shopping behavior. As this type of user-centric data is captured, brands will change how customers build their carts and participate in the overall shopping experience.

Join us as Shilp shares further insight into the customer journey, the role of generative AI in digital commerce and shopping, and the next milestones we’ll see from large language models as they relate to retail and ecommerce.
