Intel into healthcare: they smell $$$, but will they get it?

September 7th, 2005

A little under the radar screen, Intel re-orged in January 2005 into 5 units, with healthcare (now called the Digital Health Group) as one of them.

Louis Burns, a home-grown-Intel-exec and now chief of Digital Health at Intel, gave a speech a few weeks ago. What I thought was interesting:
- He made it clear that they're in it for the $$, not for "altruism"
- He eluded to the fact that they will go after home health before hospitals (is this a pilot strategy or just more closely aligned to their tech?)
- They're already working with some tech design for 3,000 hospitals in China

Burns also showed off some wireless therapy systems.
