Amazon’s healthcare push
Is Prime Medical on the way? Amazon’s been pushing into healthcare for some time now and it’s just turned things up a notch with a new acquisition.
Amazon is buying One Medical for $3.9bn. It’s a company that boasts an offering of “user-friendly” primary care facilities and a robust remote medical practice, and is Amazon’s latest attempt to become a leader in the lucrative healthcare industry after launching Amazon Care three years ago. Vaccine with your delivery, anyone?
It’s sure to give regulators a few gray hairs, especially given the medical sector handles such sensitive data. Government agencies get more vocal about Amazon’s growing power in the market, especially as the platform focuses on growing its empire into other industries.
Speaking of which, Amazon is upping its electrification game too. The company continues to make a push towards net-zero carbon emissions by 2040, and has now started rolling out some of the electric delivery vans it’s been developing with Rivian since 2019 – it still wants to buy 100k of the vans going forward, though there remains some doubt about whether Rivian can deliver.
Amazon flexes its muscles once more
The retail giant is set to trial mall-based deliveries, marking another feather in its multi-talented cap.
How many fingers does Jeff Bezos have in pies? Many. In fact, he may have his finger in your locally bought goods now (a sorry but quite real image), given Amazon is now seeing whether its Flex drivers can deliver mall-bought goods to consumers.
Amazon pinged Flex drivers in the last month letting them know of an upcoming opportunity to retrieve packages from retailers in their area and drop them off at customers’ doorsteps. Initially, this test will be limited to Arizona, Nevada, and Virginia.
With 3m Flex drivers in the US, peeps certainly won’t be short of delivery options. The move by Amazon is another push into widening its array of products available to be delivered. Soon, perhaps, users will be able to buy twelve different kinds of pie-making kits. ‘Cos capitalism.
