Apple is Focusing Healthcare Sector by Hiring Doctors

Apple, a well-known name in the technology industry is now focusing into the healthcare sector. It has hired around 50 doctors till date. The main reason behind this hiring is to bring healthcare services to its products like iPhone, iPad, and watch. This team of doctors guides apple to implement these services. These doctors are available in different teams across the globe. The Cupertino headquartered company has recently opened its own wellness clinic called AC wellness clinic in California and Santa Clara County for its employees.

Apple has released many health products. For example, it has a health record API which helps act as a database to record all the medications, lab reports, allergies etc. This information is stored securely and fastly available on request by medical practitioners. Apart from this, their health app monitors the customer’s activity, nutrition, mindfulness, and sleep. Health sensors are available in apple watches which were developed under the guidance of embedded doctors. The latest Apple watches series 4 comes with the features of monitoring high heart rate notification, low heart rate notification, irregular rhythm notification, and ECG app and fall detection.

All these technological wonders were made by Apple with the help of renowned doctors. Mostly doctors were the greatest critics of Apple products. So the company always gave priorities for the doctor’s opinion on their health products. They even launched a website to answer the clinician’s questions after launching the electrocardiogram sensor. These sensors were used to find the irregularities in heart rhythm used in Apple watches.
