What does Alexa Together do? It uses Echo devices to keep an eye on folks, offering fall detection services, drop-in video calling, and activity alerts. It will even call the authorities if you think your loved one is hurt or needs help. Also, there’s a function called “Remote Assist” that allows loved ones to access Alexa from afar to set reminders, create shopping lists, and more.
The fall detection portion of the program does require a third-party device, however, such as the wall-mounted Vayyar Care sensor or the ATS SkyAngelCare pendant, which is worn around the neck.
The caregiver does not need an Alexa device to make changes or issue commands, just a smartphone, and they can even set up their loved one’s device remotely, connecting it to Wi-Fi and setting up features.
Alexa Together is currently available for signups.
