Big Tech Med

The big four technology companies - Google, Amazon, Apple, and Microsoft - are accelerating their pursuit of the healthcare market as they begin to refine their strategies for certain corners of the ecosystem. US healthcare players are forced to shift their digital transformation efforts online and Amazon, Google, Apple and Microsoft lend their data and technological expertise to become attractive players in healthcare. This comes as health organizations are struggling with an increasingly sicker population, higher costs, and changing consumer demands for faster and more convenient services.

Key points in the presentation:

1) Provide an overview of Google, Amazon, Apple' and Microsoft's most prominent healthcare projects and plans.

2) Highlight the persistent gaps in the US healthcare system that provide Big Tech and their cutting-edge technologies with entryways into the industry.

3) Identify the incumbent healthcare players that will benefit from and be threatened by big tech companies' foray into healthcare.

4) Outline the barriers that are still in place that are stifling tech giants' dive into the health space.
