But the move has since been shelved.
Apple planned on opening its own primary care clinics, staffed with its own people, according to a new report. The move would have also seen patients monitored via an Apple Watch.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple had considered the move to the point of actually setting up test facilities and employing scores of "clinicians, engineers, product designers, and others."
The idea came after Apple COO Jeff Williams asked teams to find a way to change healthcare. With people tending to only visit a clinic when something is wrong, Apple's belief was that it could change that – by offering a subscription service that would include care via the clinics accompanied by in-home support and monitoring via Apple Watch. The project was in play back in 2016, but has since been shelved.
