Senior Housing News September 29, 2021
Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) is launching a new subscription service, as well as a long rumored home assistant robot, that could further position the e-retailer and tech giant as a player in the senior care space.
The service, Alexa Together, and the robot, Astro, were announced during Amazon’s invite-only fall hardware event on Tuesday.
The robot could be a harbinger of where voice technology is headed, but Astro is not yet widely available. Alexa Together will launch later this year at a price of $19.99 per month, and is an extension of the company’s free Care Hub, which was introduced last year as a way for families to check in on their older relatives, via Echo devices.
