Thank you for joining the beta phase of LARA, our well-being check-in system powered by Amazon Alexa.
This stage is essential to ensure that the technology works in a simple, safe, and efficient way in the daily routine of real users.
The goal of the beta test is to identify whether:
✔️ LARA can successfully deliver automatic check-in questions
✔️ The user can respond without difficulty
✔️ Notifications are correctly delivered to the designated monitor
✔️ The web dashboard works properly for monitoring
✔️ The experience feels simple for both seniors and family members
✔️ The integration with Alexa and VoiceMonkey works flawlessly
You are helping us refine the final details before the official launch.
To participate, you will need:
✔️ An Amazon Echo device (any model)
✔️ An active Amazon account
✔️ A working Wi-Fi connection
✔️ A smartphone (Android or iPhone) with the Alexa app installed
✔️ Ability to hear and answer simple questions (“are you okay?”)
✔️ Access to the LARA dashboard (web panel)
✔️ Basic ability to follow the setup instructions
✔️ Active WhatsApp to receive alerts
✔️ A valid email address
Explain to the monitored person that:
LARA will ask questions such as:
“Ciloca, is everything okay over there?”
“How are you feeling right now?”
“Is everything all right?”
To respond, they simply need to say:
“Alexa, open LARA Assistant”
And then answer normally:
“I’m fine”
“I’m not well”
“So-so”
Alexa will reply and record the response.
If LARA detects that something may be wrong:
The designated family member will be notified via WhatsApp or email.
It is completely safe — it does not record audio; it only interprets voice commands.
As the monitor, you will:
Open the Alexa app
Go to Skills & Games
Search for: “LARA Assistente” (beta version)
Tap Enable
After enabling the skill, Alexa will display a card with a short link:
novais-ai.com/cadastro/XXXXX
Visit this link and fill in:
Basic information about the monitored person
Monitoring schedule
Emergency contact
Required permissions
Still on the web page:
Follow the video tutorial
Create a device inside VoiceMonkey
Copy the token
Paste it into the LARA dashboard
This allows the Echo device of the monitored person to receive LARA’s check-in questions.
In the web dashboard you can view:
Latest responses
Scheduled check-in times
Alerts that were sent
Device status
Alexa needs to hear clearly — speak close to the Echo device.
The monitored person doesn’t need to remember complicated phrases:
👉 just “Alexa, open LARA Assistant.”
The Echo should be placed in a room where the person spends most of their time (living room, bedroom…).
If anything seems off, restart the Echo by saying:
“Alexa, restart”
or unplugging it and plugging it back in.

Your help during this phase is essential to ensure that LARA becomes safe and truly useful for thousands of families.
Thank you for contributing to this project!
