Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) was reported last week to be building out a health and wellness team within its Alexa division to better integrate the assistant in health care.

Alexa and Amazon’s artificial intelligence could support telehealth care programs and streamline paperwork to improve time spent with patients. At the same time, it could remind patients to take medicine, help manage care for diabetics or alert staff of emergencies.

“Imagine the safety, information, connectivity, and entertainment that an Alexa near every hospital bed could offer patients,” Murphy wrote.

Patient Data Networks

Amazon Web Services can provide storage, analytics and management tools for electronic health record systems. Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ:CERN) already leverages Amazon’s data analytics to coordinate care.
