A recent GeekWire article discussed the latest feature added to Amazon’s Alexa. Apparently the virtual assistant can now order prescription refills and remind people to take their medicine. To add this functionality, the eCommerce giant teamed up with pharmaceutical automation company Omnicell and Giant Eagle, a large pharmacy chain. The initial launch with Giant Eagle will serve as a learning period before the program is extended to more pharmacies next year.
