Talk2Care: An LLM-based Voice Assistant for Communication between Healthcare Providers and Older Adults by Yang, Ziqi, Xu, Xuhai, Yao, Bingsheng, Rogers, Ethan, Zhang, Shao, Intille, Stephen, Shara, Nawar, Gao, Guodong Gordon, Wang, Dakuo

“…We first conducted two interview studies with both older adults (N=10) and healthcare providers (N=9) to understand their needs and opportunities for LLMs in patient-provider asynchronous communication. Based on the insights, we built an LLM-powered communication system, Talk2Care, and designed interactive components for both groups: (1) For older adults, we leveraged the convenience and accessibility of voice assistants (VAs) and built an LLM-powered conversational interface for effective information collection. (2) For health providers, we built an LLM-based dashboard to summarize and present important health information based on older adults' conversations with the VA. …”
