Big tech companies continue to push into healthcare as Salesforce?expands its consumer data platform?to support the shift to tech-enabled care delivery and Samsung?rolls out smart healthcare TVs for hospitals. And as healthcare workforce issues continue to dominate conversations, experts lay out?what hospitals need to do to attract and retain talent

Welcome to Amedzon.com where we intend to transform the sick care business as much as we will transform the grocery business after our recent acquisition of Whole Foods nd partnership with JP Morgan and Berkshire Hathaway to create Haven.. Just imagine discounted prescription prices delivered to your door in two hours for Prime members. No more Whole Paycheck. No more Whole Bank Account forcing you into medical bankruptcy. Are you nervous?

Amazon healthcare lead Neil Lindsay says its approach has been to “find things that can be a little bit easier and then stack them up to make them a lot easier.” Amazon’s healthcare business includes One Medical’s subscription and pay-per-visit offerings, as well as Amazon Pharmacy.

The healthcare industry is undergoing systematic changes driven by trends such as an aging demographic, the explosion in healthcare data, and increasingly complex administrative infrastructure. The Covid-19 outbreak has made these challenges even more urgent. Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, & Apple (FAMGA) were already leveraging their scale, user base, technology, and brand to modernize the consumer & enterprise healthcare experience. Their aim is to capture a piece of the $3.6T US healthcare market. Covid-19 could accelerate their collective march. Big Tech In Healthcare

? Facebook: The social media giant aims to leverage its diverse user base & the unique user behavior data collected. Its healthcare effort primarily focuses on distributing healthcare information and organizing users with common health interests. The company could become the digital front door for healthcare, similar to Tencent’s WeChat in China.

? Amazon: The e-commerce & cloud computing powerhouse attacks healthcare with its experience building back-end infrastructure & 110M+ loyal Prime members. Amazon counts drug supply chain, telehealth, and cloud computing among its healthcare endeavors today. In the future, it could upend insurance by creating a marketplace for payers and providers.

? Microsoft: The company owns the world’s most popular workplace apps. Paired with a commercial focus, Microsoft is poised to drive quick adoption of these in healthcare. Teams & Azure products have already gained traction and more apps & services could be on the horizon.

? Google/Alphabet: Search, using advanced technologies like AI, is in Google’s DNA. The company is bringing this expertise to healthcare by building better search experiences for providers, patients, and researchers. It could also upend how education is delivered in healthcare.

? Apple: Apple is focused on helping its users securely manage and organize their healthcare data. On top of that, Apple will build a healthcare-focused app store for developers and researchers.

Here is a report on how BIG TECH is taking a big bite out of the $3.7T sickcare apple.

In case you have been confused about our recent activities, this might help explain the method to our madness.

Amazon.com Inc agreed to buy primary care provider One Medical for $3.49 billion, expanding the e-commerce giant's virtual healthcare and adding brick-and-mortar doctors' offices for the first time.

The all-cash deal would combine two relatively small players as Amazon continues a years-long march into U.S. healthcare, seeking to grow at a faster pace. However, they face many headwinds. ?

In acquiring One Medical for $3.9 billion, Amazon is signaling that it can succeed in transforming primary care in the United States. But while Amazon has tremendous financial resources, talent, IT skills, and patience —as well as a proven ability to turn economic sectors upside down — it faces enormous challenges in trying to create a new model for primary care?in America’s huge, troubled, tangled health care sector.

19. Our medical travel benefit

20. Amazon Care The pilot program, called Amazon Care, provides a mobile app that enables employees to access virtual and in-person healthcare services from Oasis Medical Group, which is licensed in Washington state. An Amazon telehealth outfit that started as a pilot service for Seattle-area employees and their families has quietly filed paperwork to operate in 21 more states, a signal of Amazon’s expanding ambitions for the $3.8 trillion medical sector. It is now nation wide.

21. AWS for health Amazon's cloud division has rolled out AWS for Health, a set of services and partner solutions for healthcare, genomics and biopharma.

22. Amazon rolled out a new prescription drug subscription for Prime members called RxPass that will ship generic medications to customers' homes for a flat monthly fee of $5.

The service, Amazon Care,?launched a year ago?as an app providing on-demand chat and video consultations with medical professionals for Amazon’s then-54,000 Puget Sound employees. Users can also book in-person visits at their home or office with clinicians. Payment for the service routes through Amazon.com.

23. Amazon Halo: The Amazon Halo, a new service dedicated to helping customers improve health and wellness, can connect to Cerner’s technology where individuals can opt-in to share activity, sleep, body fat percentage and other important wellness data from the comfort of their home. Historically this type of data has been siloed or difficult to obtain. Wearable technology, such as the Amazon Halo, can help achieve greater interoperability across health care when integrated directly into a patient’s electronic health record (EHR). Longtime Cerner client Sharp HealthCare is the first health system to implement Amazon Halo in the health care setting.

24. Amazon has officially launched Alexa Together, a subscription-based service helping caregivers provide remote support to elderly loved ones.

First announced in late September, the service uses Amazon’s range of Echo devices with new features like fall detection and 24/7 emergency assistance supporting the health and wellbeing of older users.

Family members can choose to receive notifications through the Alexa app when their loved one uses their device for the first time each day and will be contacted along with emergency services if the user calls for help.

The service also offers fall detection integrated with third-party devices from Assistive Technology Service and Vayyar Care. If the person falls in range of the device, the Echo will call urgent response and notify a family member.

While only one family member can currently link their device to receive alerts from their loved one through Alexa Together, Amazon said it plans to allow up to 10 people to provide remote support.
