HOW MAGEE REHABILITATION IS USING ALEXA TO GIVE PARALYZED PATIENTS MORE
INDEPENDENCE

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A Philadelphia rehabilitation hospital is helping its
patients with some new technology. It's giving them more independence.



When your ability to move is gone, you become dependent on others but new
technology at Magee Rehabilitation here in Philadelphia is changing that.

Shynieka Taylor is enjoying music with the little bit of movement she has.

The 35-year-old is quadriplegic after a horrific car crash.

"It's very difficult. This happened in December, and I'm still in a little bit
of shock," Taylor said. "So I just try to take it one day at a time."

She's in rehab at Magee getting used to her motorized wheelchair and a whole new
world of innovative technology.



Magee now has smart room technology that's voice-activated.

"Alexa can do a number of different things in the room," Taylor said. "So you
don't always have to call for someone to come in your room. You can do some
things on your own."

Helping patients find new kinds of independence is a critical part of Magee's
mission.

"You have to rehabilitate the mind, the body, the soul," said Dr. Guy Fried, the
chief medical officer at Magee and Taylor's doctor. "She doesn't have to feel
like she's a burden. She can control her own life."



This voice-activated system is similar to the traditional Alexa but with some
important upgrades and modifications. Because of patient confidentially laws,
the interactions and communications are private and secured.

"Our partnership with a company called Aiva Health Care produces this amazing
system that keeps everything safe," said Mark Chilutti, with Magee. "We are the
first rehabilitation hospital in the area to have this."

With technology doing the simpler tasks, the staff can spend more time on
skilled interventions.

For Taylor, Alexa has become a new best friend.

"She definitely does sometimes gets on my nerves," Taylor said, "but I am lucky
to have her."

Magee has the smart technology in all 83 patient rooms and hopes to expand its
use even more.
