Abstract
Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or a manufacture of voice controlled assistance for monitoring adverse events of a user and/or coordinating emergency actions such as caregiver communication. In one embodiment, a system includes an assistance device coupled to a voice controlled assistance server over a network. The assistance device includes a memory including computer-executable instructions that when executed, upon an event such as sensing the presence of the user, generates a verbal status query to the user usable to determine an event of concern and/or an adverse event related to the user, such as a negative response or non-response event that may require initiation of an emergency action. The system may further include one or more sensing pods to gather a response and/or establish communication with of the user within a caregiving environment, a scheduling server to streamline interaction with the voice controlled assistance server, one or more devices (of the user, the caregiver, and/or the emergency service), and an emergency server for providing a specialized emergency assistance upon determination of the adverse event.
