Apple: Ten Years Forward

There’s obviously no certainties - and I’m not a betting man - but I think this author is on to something.

Healthcare fits the brief of a “painful, expensive problem where technology can help”. That’s the fundamental criteria for any software development, and in this case requires good integration with hardware. That kind of problem plays to Apple’s strengths.

Coupled with their long-standing and (apparent) sincere interest in customer’s health and well-being and this seems a safe bet.

Just to clarify, "this author" is Jean-Louis Gassée of Be and BeOS fame.

And Apple fame in the 1980s. He had quite a prominent role.

That this article is written by someone with serious credentials and not just some random tech journalist?

a prior example is how iphone built in the flashlight app...now the apple watch built in a period female tracker (which have multiple apps built by companies worth a couple hundred M all together)...I can't see how this fails since theyve released oxygen monitor in the last watch and better heart rate monitoring...
