Recently, a news article in the New York Times highlighted some of the new and innovative ways that tech companies are moving into the health care market. Tech companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft have already begun to explore this market with a variety of different platforms. Apple is utilizing and creating research apps while acquiring several health startup companies, including Tueo Health, Gliimpse and many others. One study Apple is currently conducting is exploring if there is an early way to identify heart health issues in relation to exercise at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts. They are doing this with the help of wearable technology that captures and details heart rate with physical activity. Microsoft is focusing on voice recognition software within hospitals to allow for more focused and direct patient care. Google is also looking to explore this market, specifically focusing on compiling patient data to help improve care by a multitude of different approaches. One thing all these companies are looking to achieve is to see if there are better ways to predict, treat, and analyze medical conditions.
