Vitalcare’s latest nurse call technology uses neural networks and machine learning to process words and sounds. This allows the most advanced, fast response to the needs of residents and patients.
We call our neural network Rosie after the robot in the Jetsons cartoon from the ’60s. Neural networks, also called artificial intelligence or AI, are computer simulations of biological human brains. Basically, a computer program that learns from the information it digests.
We are currently configuring Rosie and need lots of different voices incorporating a range of accents and dialects. These voice/word samples are processed by Rosie and used to help recognise speech. Not only can Rosie understand speech, but she also learns from other sounds she hears.
Rosie can alert carers on unusual sounds she does not expect, such as a dry cough or loud bang, and sounds that she expects to regularly hear but may not, such as a flushing toilet daily or the TV — all indicators of normal activity.
Importantly, the samples you provide us are completely anonymous. We do not keep the audio, just the computerised analysis of the words you speak. Once we digitally process the samples you provide, we feed those into Rosie’s neural network. The resulting algorithm then gets deployed to our AI nurse call system called Felix and Rosie goes to work!
For every voice sample we receive, we’ll also donate $1 to Variety, The Children’s Charity which is (Vitalcare’s corporate charity partner) so your few minutes of time will make an even bigger difference!
Thank you very much.
