Apple is launching its own primary care health clinics called AC Wellness, following Amazon and Warren Buffett’s push into healthcare. Two healthcare centres are planned to open in the spring in Santa Clara County, California, around Cupertino, near Apple Park and Infinite Loop headquarters. They will, the company says, provide a “unique concierge-like healthcare experience” that is “enabled by technology”. One job advert for a primary care physician, emphasises the need for experience of “preventing future disease” and “preventive care” with an “enthusiasm for new methods of care delivery using technology”. Apple will reportedly use its AC Wellness clinics and staff to test its own healthcare-related technologies.
