Google and Microsoft are about to have a "significant impact" on the healthcare sector, according to UK-based analyst firm Wireless Healthcare.

Aware that many internet searches are health related, the two web giants are attempting to build a presence in the healthcare sector that will affect healthcare professionals and medical device manufacturers.

Wireless Healthcare believes that Google's recent investment in genetic profiling company 23andMe, and Microsoft's purchase of intelligent medical search company Medstory, could lead to "highly disruptive" healthcare services.
