  Executive function. Executive function is things
• 1:29
  like organizing and managing everyday tasks, everyday life.
• 1:32
  It could be organizing a list of the grocery store.
• 1:34
  It could be organizing your laundry.
• 1:36
  It could be organizing anything in your life that needs to be
• 1:39
  done. That's.
• 1:40
  An executive function that you need to do to complete a life
• 1:43
  task. We're in on the Olson spectrum
• 1:44
  just like Mills and Olson spectrum will have issues and
• 1:47
  it's called executive dysfunction.
• 1:49
  Now executive dysfunction is exactly what it says you're
• 1:52
  you're dysfunctioning from those executive functions, right.
• 1:54
  How we can help with this and and I mean this in the best way
• 1:57
  possible is technology people like, well how does technology
• 2:01
  work? I'm all about getting results
• 2:03
  instantly, quickly and as fast as I possibly can.
• 2:06
  The best way to do this the the most efficient way to do this.
• 2:09
  Is with technology. Now we all have either a
• 2:11
  smartphone, a tablet or a smart device like an Alexa or a Google
• 2:16
  Home hub or you know, one of the many things like a Siri Home
• 2:20
  hub. But there's so many voice first
• 2:21
  technologies as what they call these personal digital systems.
• 2:24
  We all have everywhere. By Alexis behind me here, yeah,
• 2:26
  she's that. And I use these all the time.
• 2:28
  Things like remembering to pick milk up from the store we're
• 2:33
  only need to take your medication, remembering to pick
• 2:35
  up your dry cleaning or even your kids from school.
• 2:38
  All of those things can be scheduled.
• 2:39
  You just have to ask them. So using Voicefest technology,
• 2:42
  you say, hey Alexa, remind me to take my medication tomorrow at
• 2:46
  9:00 PM. Okay.
• 2:47
  I'll remind you tomorrow at 9:00 PM.
• 2:50
  There you go. Alexa, tell me now what I need
• 2:52
  to do is to take my medication at 9:00 PM tomorrow.
• 2:54
  It's as easy as that. The alert will actually come
• 2:56
  through to your phone and it. It's there in stone.
• 2:58
  You can even ask them to repeat this.
• 3:00
  Every single appointment that I have with a doctor or a
• 3:03
  specialist or anything like that, I have to ask my phone,
• 3:05
  Siri to put that in my calendar at a specific date, at a
• 3:08
  specific time and set an alarm. I just talk to them and they do
• 3:12
  that. This one hack of using voice
• 3:15

• 3:19
  dysfunction. Executive dysfunction.
