Apple’s healthcare ambitions beyond the Watch
Apple Watch is part of Apple’s health initiatives — but only a part. Could Healthcare clinics and more be next on the list?
From CNBC
Apple has considered an expansion into health care clinics, and had talks to buy a start-up called Crossover Health, which works with big employers to build and run on-site medical clinics, according to three sources familiar.
