Apple’s Healthcare Tech Beats Rivals To Top Hospitals
Apple tech gains in popularity
Fourteen of the hospitals out of the 23 contacted by Reuters nodded in confirmation that they have deployed a pilot program of Apple’s HealthKit service, which acts as a storage unit for patient-generated health information like blood pressure, weight or heart rate.
Out of 17 hospitals that have rolled out the Apple healthcare technology, eight are among the best-ranked hospitals, according to a ranking by the U.S. News & World Report. Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930) also launched similar services, which are gradually reaching hospitals and medical partners. Both companies are also in talks with a few of these hospitals, according to Reuters.
The U.S. healthcare market is $3 trillion, and according to IDC, by 2018, around 70% of healthcare organizations across the world will invest in technologies such as apps, wearables, remote monitoring and virtual care.
