Artificially intelligent systems optimized for speech conversation are appearing at a fast pace. Such models are interesting from a healthcare perspective, as these voice-controlled assistants may support the elderly and enable remote health monitoring. The bottleneck for efficacy, however, is how well these devices work in practice and how the elderly experience them, but research on this topic is scant. We review elderly use of voice-controlled AI and highlight various user- and technology-centered issues, that need to be considered before effective speech-controlled AI for elderly care can be realized.

翻译：专为语音对话优化的人工智能系统正快速涌现。从医疗保健视角看，此类模型具有重要价值，因为语音控制助手可为老年人提供支持并实现远程健康监测。然而，其效能瓶颈在于这些设备在实际应用中的表现及老年人的使用体验，而相关研究却十分匮乏。本文综述了老年人对语音控制人工智能的使用情况，并指出在实现有效的老年护理语音控制人工智能之前，需重点考虑的用户端与技术端各类问题。
