The company has started making key hires for Amazon Care, its virtual health clinic for Seattle-area employees, indicating it's looking to convert the group's pilot status into something more concrete. It's part of Amazon's larger push into the $3.5 trillion health care sector
Amazon Care currently offers an app for employees to get virtual-only health advice and medical visits, but there's an option for an in-person consult via a health professional that will show up at their home or office. The medical staff are hired through a separate legal entity, known as Oasis Medical, which ensures that Amazon doesn't have direct knowledge of its workers' health.
Its focus on delivering medical care virtually isn't new -- lots of employers and insurance plans will work with third-parties to offer apps for that. But it relatively unique to see an large tech employer getting into care delivery, which puts it in a position to collect insights and data on whether its approach is moving the needle.
