- Amazon Care: Amazon Care is the e-commerce giant’s healthcare venture, which offers telehealth and in-person primary care. On Feb. 8, the business made its virtual health services available nationwide and said in-person services will be rolled out in more than 20 new cities in 2022; in-person services are already available in Seattle, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Austin, Texas, and Arlington, Va.
Amazon Care offers urgent and primary care services, such as COVID-19 testing, vaccinations, prescription refills and preventive care. In locations where in-person care is available, Amazon Care also deploys nurse practitioners to patients’ homes.

In June, AWS launched an accelerator to offer digital health startups resources, expertise and opportunities to collaborate with AWS healthcare customers and partners. The program is designed to accelerate startups’ growth in the cloud, focusing on technologies such as remote patient monitoring, data analytics, patient engagement, voice technology and virtual care.
