Launched in May 2022, the myNCBI SmartHub is a voice assistant AI-based skill that’s available on all Alexa-enabled devices. It allows service users and their families access to the latest information about sight loss, audiobooks, podcasts, newspapers, magazines, and much more through simple voice commands on a user’s smart speaker. It also allows users to request a referral or a call back from an NCBI staff member.

This week, at the AWS AI and Data Conference held in Kilkenny, Amazon’s Chief Technology Officer and Vice President, Dr. Werner Vogels, gave a keynote address focused on harnessing AI to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. During his address, he highlighted the pioneering work of the NCBI and Labs team in developing the myNCBI SmartHub, acknowledging them as global innovators dedicated to advancing digital accessibility for people around the world 🌎.
