Case Study: Amazon reduces senior social isolation with k2forma’s Alexa skill

Amazon launches My Daily Tale on Alexa in 6 weeks with k2forma

The customer Amazon worked with the vendor k2forma to develop an Amazon Alexa skill aimed at combating social isolation for seniors aging in place. This was a significant challenge, as social isolation is a major threat to health and longevity for seniors and a primary source of stress for their caregivers.

k2forma developed a simple skill called "My Daily Tale," which provided daily, human-voiced stories to create simulated social engagement and build trust in the technology. The solution was rapidly prototyped and tested, with an initial catalog of stories. k2forma is continuing to test the skill's impact on quality of life and is developing a second version that will allow for user-submitted stories to scale the concept nationwide.
