Amazon to sell medical software
Amazon is marketing software that allows doctors and hospitals to harvest patient medical records to enhance treatment and pare costs, reports The Wall Street Journal. The software will analyze digitized patient records and other clinical notes to surface relevant data. The move is the internet giant’s latest foray into medical care and treatment and follows recent acquisitions in the health care and pharmaceutical industries.
- Amazon will also develop an app that's embedded in electronic medical records and provides doctors direct links to products to market to patients.
