From health tracking to mobile healthcare: Apple HealthKit 掀 Health Revolution
Release date: 2016-09-29 According to Bloomberg News reported on September 26, Apple's HealthKit will be equipped with Apple Watch 2 as the platform to collect health data, track user health, and gradually analyze health data to provide users, doctors and other people with feasibility advice. In this way, it will create a new profit point for Apple, but its development still faces many problems to be solved. In recent years, Apple's medical technology team has continuously improved its electronic health record software, while developing new apps for Apple smart watches, one to help users track sleep, and the other to monitor the wearer's heartbeat. Their ultimate goal is to make HealthKit a tool that can better diagnose the health of users. It is expected to solve the two major problems of the medical community and medical device manufacturers, namely interoperability - data can be carried out in different databases between hospitals. Delivery; analyzability - providing doctors with massive amounts of data for initial diagnosis. Apple CEO Cook hopes that Apple can create new profit points in software and services, allowing customers to rely more on Apple products. And the health industry with a global value of 8 trillion US dollars is undoubtedly an excellent breakthrough. Apple believes that the time is ripe, just as users use the iPod to get used to electronically all the music files, and then gradually adapt to the charging music platform, Apple can follow its music industry into the medical industry and show its talents. However, the further development of HealthKit has many problems. If the platform Apple Watch is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it will have to add medical sensors. It will have a battery that can support one day of use, and it will have a different independent function from the mobile phone. And Apple's RearchKit platform launched in March this year, with the APP on Apple's mobile phone, allows research institutions and pharmaceutical manufacturers to conduct clinical trials. Duke University in North Carolina used RearchKit to develop a software that uses the iPhone's front camera to identify children's reactions to broadcasted video to screen for autism. Johns Hopkins University in the United States used the accelerometer and heartbeat sensor of Apple Watch to record the onset and duration of seizures and make related prevention. The biggest difficulty facing Apple is to prove to medical experts that the data of HealthKit and RearchKit on wearable devices is credible.
