“#App<\/a>le reportedly wants to run its own health care clinics<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Apple wants to run a network of clinics operated by doctors it hires who will use health data generated by its devices, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

The company would offer primary care services alongside continuous health monitoring through a subscription-based program, the Wall Street Journal reported<\/a> Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The plan was reportedly hatched in 2016 by an Apple team after the company\u2019s Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams told employees to disrupt America\u2019s \u201c363\u201d care model, under which patients rarely see their doctors more than twice a year \u2014 and only when they\u2019re sick or hurt.<\/p>\n

If the company could successfully use the vast amount of health data generated by devices like the Apple Watch to improve primary care, the company could sell the system to other health care groups and even entire countries, the Journal reported.<\/p>\n

Apple did not immedia<\/a>tely reply to a request for comment.<\/p>\n

Apple started to test its primary-care plan on its own employees in 2017 under the code name \u201cCasper,\u201d hiring Stanford University doctor Sumbul Desai to oversee the effort, according to the report.<\/p>\n

The company is allegedly still running the tests today but has struggled to advance the effort, partially due to concerns about how the program handles user data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One manager in the health program reportedly quit in 2019 after Desai blew up over critical feedback in a meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As Casper has struggled, Apple has turned its efforts toward the Apple Watch, which has health functions like heart-rate monitoring, according to the report.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Apple CEO Tim Cook appears to have big long-term health care plans for the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really believe that if you zoom out to the future and you look back to ask: \u2018What has Apple\u2019s greatest contribution been?\u2019 It will be in the wellness-and-health area,\u201d he said in a 2020 interview<\/a>. \u00a0\n <\/div>\n
