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?
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.
