What's the healthcare play for tech companies like Amazon, Uber, Google, Apple, FB, etc? I've seen healthcare related job postings from Amazon recently but curious what their play is in this space.

While M1 provided a good conceptual overview, if you look at examples, it makes it pretty clear that the work that traditional tech companies are doing in health is incredibly broad, and their strategies in the space typically differ by (and support) their traditional product offerings.

Examples:
1. Amazon - acquisition of Pill Pack and entrance into PBM space. Supports their e-commerce enterprise.
2. Apple - health app and health wearables (Apple Watch). Supports their retail enterprise by creating a simplified and easy to understand health ecosystem that will likely be bolstered by other health products in the future (last I heard they was a rumor about a diabetes device).
3. Lyft/Uber - provide HIPPA complaint driving services that providers can use to bring in patients who have trouble with mobility. This obv supports their core service based enterprise.

There are also industry agnostic approaches that focus around lowering health costs as it’s an issue that can affect employers’ bottom line and employees’ financial health, as seen by the Amazon-Berkshire-JPM health venture (though this partnership failed to make much of an impact).

Been in healthcare for a while now and still misspell it all the time, my bad😂

Simplified access to information, which can be data or care. American healthcare processes and information are unnecessarily over-complex. The companies that simplify the digestion of information and actually improve outcomes will forever progress our system in the direction it so desperately requires. FAANG and other large tech companies are some of the most well-positioned to enable this change, because of their scalable agile delivery. As a specific example to your job postings inquiry, in the near and distant future, there will likely be a large employee need for healthcare data scientists at these firms.

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
