Confirming the news, VP for Specialty Services at Walmart Health & Wellness claimed that customers are lately on the lookout to access care digitally and the acquisition will echo the company’s mission to offer accessible care to all communities.
Memomi’s buyout is likely to close in the coming weeks, with the AR company’s team joining the Walmart Global Tech organization.
