What do you Learn from Alexa HIPAA Compliant Skills Kit?

April 4, 2019, Amazon announced its Alexa Skills Kit that will allow health care industry personnel to build voice tools that will be able to transmit private patient information securely.

What is more important to note in this news is that the skills kit is HIPAA compliant. Which means that this product will never be subject to corrective action, and will continue reaping profits for Amazon.

That been said, it is now evident how voice rewrites are ruling the software world. This actually opens up a host of opportunities for fresh engineering students. In this era of social media, smartphones, tablets, edtech, and MOOC’s, it is evident how important a role these software applications play in the learning environment. So much so that this type of massive outreach of these apps have inspired a number of software organizations to come up with apps that will help engineering students to build-in apps of their own.
