Tech companies these days have such massive cash hoards and low costs of borrowing: It's inevitable that any market with potential (or less cynically, any big problem that has the potential to do a lot of good) would be attractive. Healthcare in particular is a Big Problem that can be attacked from many, many angles, and technology has a role to play in all of them (perhaps more than most other fields, since healthcare is notoriously slow to adopt technology/change[1]).
