Apple unveils ResearchKit to make iPhone a medical research weapon

In addition to the Apple Watch and the new Macbook, Apple and republished the app development framework, ReearchKit, which is expected to make theiPhoneplatform a research weapon to help doctors and scientists gather test data faster and more accuratelyApple will officially launch ReearchKit next month and release it from open source before moving to other countriesiPhone5, iPhone 5, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plu and the new iPod all support the ReearchKit appJeff William, Apple's senior vice president of operations, points out that more and more people are using iPhone and iOS apps to measure, track movement and health, giving us an opportunity to engage users in medical researchReearchKit will allow scientists to collect data in more efficient ways from a larger and large populationApple points out that when users agree, an app developed by Reearchkit can access health apps to integrate physiological data measured by third-party devices, such as weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and asthma inhaler usage, or access to iPhone accelerometers, microphones, gyroscopes and GPS sensor data to understand patient pace, movement disorders, health, spoken expression and memoryReearchKit also allows medical researchers to recruit voluntary subjects to conduct large-scale experiments and reach a more diverse research population, not just the range that researchers driveThrough test ingress testing or testing applications developed by ReearchKit, subjects can complete tests or upload questions from a distance, saving researchers time to fill out paper records and focusing more on analyzing dataIn addition, ReearchKit allows researchers to complete an interactive "informed consent" process, with the user selecting the research projects to join, and the information to be providedApple points out that Reearch Kit has turned the iPhone into a medical research deviceApple also announced today that five apps developed by medical academic series ReearchKit have been launched in the App Store in the United States, including Parkinon mPower, developed by the University of Rochester and Sage Bionetwork, which combines iPhone sensors to record the memory, manual movements, language and actions of Parkinson's patientsAsthma And self-monitoring application Athma Health ;D, Pennsylvania Institute of Medicine, Sage Bionetwork and Jonon, University of California, Los Angeles, developed by the Stanford School of Medicine and Jonathan Jonon, University of California, Los Angeles Share The Journey app, a collaboration with the All-Wide Cancer Center, uses iPhone sensor data and questionnaires to study fatigue, mood and cognitive change, sleep disorders and reduced exercise, and the GlucoSucce app developed by Massachusetts General Hospital to understand the effects of individual diet, activity, and medication on blood sugarLast year, Apple released iOS 8, which first included HealthKit, allowing device or app developers to develop health or exercise measurement apps, and now, with ReearchKit, Apple is taking a big step forward in the health care sector(Compilation/Lin Yu)
