From Hoag: They would like the ability to control “smart room” devices through the Vocera voice interface (the Genie). The use case here is that they are going to be building smart rooms for patients with automation for smart devices/things like blinds, TV, etc. Patients are also going to have tablets in their rooms to access things such as MyChart, etc. Rather than go find another vendor to act as a voice interface between the patient and the smart devices in the room she would like us to be that voice interface. We would have a “patient version” of our app (maybe a dedicated app maybe the same as clinicians but which limits what you can do based on the login and maybe a version of the web app but on a tablet), which would have the genie available. They would be able to havet the patient talk to the Genie and say things like “close the blinds," as one example.
