Amazon Diagnostics Launched in India Offers Doorstep Sample Collection in Six Cities

Entering the healthcare field in India, Amazon is launching diagnostics services. Forget lab visits- Amazon Diagnostics brings labs home! Now, through the Amazon app, users can book their tests, schedule sample pickup, check their appointment status, and get digital reports straight to their phones. Partnering with Orange Health Labs, initially, this easy-to-access service is rolled out in six cities of India, making diagnostics more smooth and accessible.

Amazon Diagnostics Launched in Partnership With Orange Health Labs

Amazon Diagnostics is all set to begin the services in Bengaluru, Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Mumbai, and Hyderabad. No clinics anymore, please: Now, book lab tests and appointments, and finally get your digital reports while lounging on the couch, via Orange Health Labs’ website.

Imagine a world where healthcare gets delivered to you! And somehow Amazon has made this dream possible. It offers diagnostic tests with sample pickup in under an hour, between the hours of 6 AM and 10 PM. Need a routine check? Expect digital results in as little as six hours. The dream of the once futuristic service has ended; today, this is a reality in more than 450 postal codes, with access to 800 plus different diagnostic tests. Healthcare, delivered!

Amazon is getting even deeper into the healthcare field by putting in-person medicine through Amazon Diagnostics. While Amazon Clinic is geared toward easing virtual visits with doctors, and Amazon Pharmacy handles easy delivery of prescriptions, this new launch helps close the gap between online and offline medical care.

Seamless, end-to-end experience, they say, with slot visibility in real time and address verification on the map. No more filing cabinets filled to the brim with paper reports; these reports will be made securely accessible via the Amazon Health dashboard. The general idea is that they promise conforming to “stringent data privacy and quality standards,” but nothing concrete has been put forth yet, so we must wonder at what is entailed in ensuring such strict standards.

An affront to the $15-billion diagnostics market flourishing in India, might be the word being used to describe Amazon. Earlier, established companies and relatively smaller establishments were the key players in all this; now, Amazon is putting up a fresh challenge. Testing at home is a fairly recent concept; it gained prominent acceptance during the pandemic, while Amazon’s entry is a very newsworthy development that threatens to entirely transform the approach India has toward healthcare diagnostics.
