Amazon and start-up Xealth are planning a pilot where doctors would ‘prescribe’ products to be delivered after patients leave the hospital

Name: 6th Digital Strategy & Innovation For Medical Affairs Summit
Start: 2022-11-02T00:00:00-04:00
End: 2022-11-03T23:59:59-04:00

Amazon, Providence and Xealth are working together on a pilot which could launch in months, according to two people familiar.
The idea is to “prescribe” medical products and services to patients before they’re discharged. The products would be fulfilled by Amazon or another e-commerce company, and Prime members could get discounts.
That helps Amazon court a new demographic: Those with complex medical conditions, new mothers, and people recovering from common procedures and surgeries.
