In the early morning of March 22, 2016, at the shortest press conference in Apple's history, Apple Chief Operating Officer (COO) Jeff Williams released their open source application CareKit in the health field, which is expected to go live in April.
CareKit and ResearchKit, released last year, are medical- grade open source health applications, but CareKit can be used not only for medical research like ResearchKit, but also for patients to track and share their health data. It can help Parkinson's patients with personal care, track drug effects, and even help users maintain their health.
In order to understand Apple's strategic intentions in the field of health care, the arterial network will be interpreted from the following perspectives.
1. How was the performance of ResearchKit before?
Jeff Williams said at the press conference that ResearchKit is mainly to use technology to solve problems in medical research, and to allow more people to conduct medical research and obtain more accurate data through Apple devices. “In one night, our research program became the largest research program. For example, we have made Parkinson's disease research the largest Parkinson research project in the world within 24 hours.†Apple's research spans the boundaries of geography. Nowadays, many universities and research institutions have joined in, covering most people in the world, and many diseases.
Second, why should we launch CareKit after ResearchKit?
In the application of ResearchKit, Apple found that tools to improve medical research can also improve health care. "For example, in Parkinson's patients, the gesture operation seen in the video helps the patient to record data. The researchers can view the patient's data in real time and see if their condition has improved, and the drug is not very effective."
ResearchKit provides real-time data for Parkinson's patients to track drug efficacy. For example, Jeff Williams said: "For example, the patient's data for one day is recorded. His condition has improved after taking the medicine. Other patients such as patient B, his condition has not improved, and medication is not very effective. So distinguish it well. These two types of patients." But in this case, the patient itself and the caregiver can not get this information. It is vital that the patient gets such data information, so we are going to release CareKit today. â€
