It makes a lot of sense why Amwell and LG would want to work together. Many hospitals and healthcare organizations have already installed LG TVs in their organizations or they will as they build new hospitals or update their existing exam rooms. Those TVs often act as a hub of information for a patient and increasingly are becoming a patients connection with their nurses and doctors.Given that final piece, LG and Amwell…
