Overview

  • Amazon's Just Walk Out technology, which allows customers to shop and leave without waiting in line, is now being introduced to hospitals.
  • The technology is being launched with a new 'badge pay' feature, allowing healthcare staff to pay for items by scanning their employee badges, which are linked to their payroll accounts.
  • The first hospital to implement this system is St. Joseph’s/Candler Hospital in Savannah, Georgia.
  • Visitors to the hospital can also shop at the store using their debit or credit cards or mobile wallets.
  • Amazon plans to expand this system to more healthcare facilities over time.
