A:Answer Yes you can but you’ll need to sync his voice to the device for personalized routines or options. Sometimes like when your voice is groggy or just waking up or you have a cold and your voice is a little different it tells you it doesn’t recognize you, so you’ll need to ask it again. But with more use it learns your speech patterns and is great. You can ask it to remind him to take his medicine at a certain time and set a reminder, you can also set up emergency numbers and ask it to call police or ambulance if needed. Just be warned it will take a while for an elderly person to learn it only works if you say “Hey Google “ or “Okay Google “ wait for the device to wake up, then ask it whatever. Both my mom and dad say it all in one sentence without waiting for Google to wake up before asking, then they get all frustrated. It takes some time but is very useful and so many helpful things this device can assist you with.
