Apple, Google and Amazon are sprinting to battle COVID-19. Here are lessons that can be learned

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, U.S. tech giants have quickly brought their innovations to the front lines.
Amazon, Apple and Google—companies that were already making headway in the $3.5 billion U.S. healthcare market—have pivoted to focus on technologies and services to battle the novel coronavirus.
These companies are rolling out health information technology at a blistering pace, according to a report from Forrester Research.
These efforts do face challenges as a majority of healthcare workers report they still view these companies as outsiders and don’t trust their healthcare ambitions, Forrester reports, based on a healthcare benchmark survey it conducted with the Healthcare Information Management and Systems Society.
Forrester Research senior analyst Jeff Becker looked at how the tech giants have shifted their innovation teams to focus on the health crisis and the lessons the healthcare industry can learn from these efforts.
