Amazon continues to invest more in healthcare

According to foreign media reports, recently, with the surge in market demand for healthcare services , Amazon announced that it will expand its face-to-face healthcare model nationwide.

Kristen Helton, head of Amazon Care, discussed the growing demand: “Patients are tired of a healthcare system that doesn’t put them first , but we ’re changing that by putting patients at the center of every service , providing on-demand urgent and primary care services to patients across the country. As our services evolve, we’ll continue to work with customers to meet their needs. ”

And this move is also reshaping modern healthcare delivery, with Amazon transforming retail into a whole new e-commerce economy, including new ways to deliver consumer goods, groceries, medicines, and now healthcare.

Importantly, Amazon Care isn't Amazon's only fast-growing venture in healthcare. Another notable initiative is Amazon Web Services (AWS), the company's powerful cloud technology platform that powers some of the world's largest healthcare organizations and companies, including Rush Medicine, Moderna, the New South Wales Government, Philips, National Health Service England, and more .

In addition, Amazon continues to innovate . In terms of health hardware, the company has invested a lot of resources in the development of Halo Band, an intuitive wearable device that tracks health indicators, including sleep analysis, body composition, nutrition and activity tracking, which provides an easy and reasonable entry point for Amazon in the field of personal health and fitness.

Amazon is committed to investing in the future of healthcare , and last year AWS announced the launch of the Healthcare Accelerator, with the goal of “nurturing and scaling innovative startup solutions to achieve the Quadruple Aim of improving the patient experience, improving the clinician experience, improving health outcomes, and reducing the cost of care.”

AWS will support public sector healthcare companies in accelerating their digital transformation as they seek compliant, data-driven healthcare solutions . This move provides Amazon with an intimate opportunity to collaborate with one of the industry’s most cutting-edge innovators. And Amazon still has a long way to go in healthcare .
