- Apple has big plans in health care, which go beyond wellness apps and tools.
- The company thinks it can make a “significant contribution,” even in a competitive market.
Apple CEO Tim Cook talked up the company’s ambitions in the health-care sector on Tuesday, hinting that it will move beyond wellness apps and devices, like its step-tracking Apple Watch.
Cook acknowledged at the company’s annual shareholders meeting in Cupertino, California, that the health-care sector, which is notoriously complex, doesn’t always encourage new players to innovate. But he reassured shareholders that he views Apple as having a “great position,” in the sector, by taking a more consumer-friendly approach.
Apple is far from alone in plotting big moves in health care.
