CHENNAI: Health and fitness app
HealthifyMe
has announced the integration of its
AI assistant
Ria with
Amazon’s
Alexa
.
With this, HealthifyMe users can now track their meals, find nutritional information about foods, and even compare food items, all using voice commands through Alexa.
The feature can be accessed on all Amazon Echo smart speakers and Alexa built-in devices. It lets people use their voice to track calorie intake and get health and nutrition tips.
"With the new HealthifyMe Alexa Skill, users can ask information about popular Indian food items like sambar, idli, and pav bhaji or compare various foods and dishes," HealthifyME said in a statement.
Through this skill, HealthifyMe is attempting to make it easier for users to manage their diet, even when they are not around their mobile phones.
HealthifyMe plans to expand the Alexa feature to include all
Ria
capabilities like getting personalised diet and workout suggestions and receiving feedback on progress.
“Voice as a medium is the most intuitive when it comes to how people can benefit from HealthifyMe every day. We have already seen an extremely positive user response for our AI assistant Ria who people can speak to and seek health and fitness advice," Tushar Vashisht, co-founder and CEO, HealthifyMe said.
“We are excited to see HealthifyMe launch their Alexa skill. Asking for information via voice is more intuitive than picking up a screen, typing and reading through the results," Dilip R S, country manager for Alexa Skills and Voice Services, Amazon India, said.
