“Imagine ten trials, several thousand patients,” said Friend, the founder of Seattle-based Sage Bionetworks, a nonprofit that champions open science and data sharing. “Here you have genetic information, and you have what drugs they took, how they did. Put that up in the cloud, and you have a place where people can go and query it, [where] they can make discoveries.” In this scenario, Friend said, patients would be able to control who could access their information, and for which purposes. But their health data would be effectively open-sourced (…)

“We’re pretty close,” he reassured them (…)

After Friend’s talk, O’Reilly approached the doctor, and, in typical tight-lipped Apple fashion, said: “I can’t tell you where I work, and I can’t tell you what I do, but I need to talk to you,” Friend recalls. Friend was intrigued, and agreed to meet for coffee.

Z różnych względów nie miałem czasu napisać o ResearchKit, a uważam go za jednego z najważniejszych fragmentów Spring Forward – możliwość wykorzystania tych małych cud w naszych kieszeniach do czynienia dobra na świecie jest zdecydowanie niedostatecznie wykorzystywane. Cieszy mnie, że to Apple coś w tym kierunku robi.
