Apple Tool Could Transform How Doctors Gather Your Data
Apple Tool Could Transform How Doctors Gather Your Data – Apple says its new iPhone platform could enable doctors to dramatically increase the amount of health data they can gather on patients.
The company revealed the platform, called ResearchKit, today at a talk at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California.
ResearchKit allows doctors to develop their own apps to gather data on people’s health conditions, from asthma to Parkinson’s disease. The new system also makes it easy for medical researchers to enroll patients in clinical trials, a typically expensive and slow process.
So far, doctors have developed apps on this platform to study Parkinson’s disease, blood sugar variability, asthma triggers, breast cancer recovery and cardiovascular health.
