Imagine a day when Siri or Alexa might be able to let you know you have a cold -- or something worse -- coming on.

Who/What has a better gauge on your current health? A doctor you haven't seen in months, or a virtual assistant that can track your movements, monitor your sleep and listen to your every cough and sneeze?
