With the news of Amazon’s Health Navigator acquisition coming just one year after acquiring PillPack – in the same week that Google acquired Fitbit – there should be little doubt that the healthcare landscape continues to go through a seismic shift. In fact, it has been over the last five years.
By 2020, $24 billion will be available for healthcare tech spend (according to an estimate from Statista) and it is clear to all the titans—Apple, Google, Amazon, Salesforce—that the largest battleground in the tech world is and will continue to be healthcare. And, while the analysts have been split on whether this Google-Fitbit marriage is a wearable play or a healthcare play, make no mistake: this is a healthcare play.
