Context to why there is a need for a shift in healthcare:
The Problem With Canada's Unsustainable Health System
“We stubbornly harbor a status-quo mentality when it comes to our prized health care system; perhaps a symptom of witnessing our southern neighbours' struggles in that regard over the years”
“As our population ages and the ratio of working Canadians declines, projected real GDP simply won't continue to grow at the same pace as observed historically”.

One of many examples is the supply of physicians; it will need to increase by at least 46 per cent over the next 25 years just to keep up with increased demand for services by the aged population.

Last report: we detailed what Amazon’s current platform is
We could in this report: detail Amazon’s history of innovation.
Source: http://www.thenation.com/article/168125/amazon-effect#
“(Amazon Creator )Bezos understood two things. One was the way the Internet made it possible to banish geography, enabling anyone with an Internet connection and a computer to browse a seemingly limitless universe of goods with a precision never previously known and then buy them directly from the comfort of their homes. The second was how the Internet allowed merchants to gather vast amounts of personal information on individual customers”.
“Amazon Kindle in 2007 led to a startling surge in e-book sales, which until then had been insignificant”.
“With the introduction last fall of the Kindle Fire, Bezos is pushing an advanced mobile portal to Amazon’s cloud universe, which hosts Web operations for a wide variety of companies and institutions, including Netflix, the New York Times, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Tina Brown’s Newsweek/Daily Beast, PBS, Virgin Atlantic and the Harvard Medical School, among others. As Wired put it, when you buy the Kindle Fire, “you’re not buying a gadget—you’re filing citizen papers for the digital duchy of Amazonia.””
Amazon Publishing: “That program offers writers a chance to publish original e-book essays of no more than 30,000 words (authors agree to a bargain-basement price of no more than $2.99 in exchange for a 70 percent royalty and no advance).”
Echo and Amazon Air….
“The company is valued at nearly $100 billion and employs more than 65,000 workers (all nonunion)”.
Amazon has a lengthy history of getting ahead/ creating trends.

This is just an example of the kind of companies I think Amazon would be interested to partner with, as they should understand the potential to have a big role (globally) in the treatment stages of this sort of virtual health services.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips, injected under the skin, can store a medical history or be used to control access to secure areas or as customer identification system. The next generation of passports and credit cards are hotbeds for RFID. It could make bar codes obsolete. Amazon will be very interested in incorporating additional security checks into their health-care products and distribution services.

Amazon could partner with hospitals in order to offer an ambulance service like this. If this kind of technology can bring this sort of services, "saving lives" will become part of Amazon's mission.

How Do We Build A Great User Experience?
UX is about identifying with your target audience, and taking into account the human factors. It’s about user empathy. It’s about taking a user-centric approach to designing that aims at creating intuitive, usable, and valuable end products for the user while ensuring that the business goals and objectives are met.
There are many human factors that come into play when designing the overall user experience for any mobile application. These may include factors such as visual, tactile, and/or cognitive aspects, training, and user expectations to name a few. In order to craft and build a compelling user experience, there are several key questions that must be answered.
