.Amazon launches virtual health service for common problems such as allergies and acne
The retail giant announced Tuesday that it was launching Amazon Clinic, a virtual health clinic that would provide essential services to Prime users in 32 states. The project arrives several months after Amazon acquired the medical company One Medical for $3.9 billion and after it ended its internal medical service for employees."We believe that improving the occasional and ongoing engagement experience is necessary to making care dramatically better," Amazon wrote in a blog post.
Amazon Clinic will offer users virtual care related to 20 common health conditions such as allergies, acne, and hair loss. The clinic would then guide users to purchase the products through Amazon's interface or local stores and clinics.Users can easily access the service. They first list their condition, choose a preferred provider, and then complete a short intake questionnaire. They can then message clinicians for input and receive a personalized treatment plan.
Amazon was recently hit by the long-term effects of the expected tech downturn. The company announced Monday that it was laying off 10,000 corporate and tech employees. The company also announced that it would allow users to purchase products from it through the payment app Venmo.
