Transkrypcja słów Tima Cooka z wczorajszych wyników finansowych →

Jasonowi Snellowi udało się wczoraj wszystko spisać podczas trwania rozmowy:

The first research apps developed using ResearchKit study asthma, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease, and have enrolled over 60,000 iPhone users in just the first few weeks of being available on the App Store.

Over 1000 researchers have contacted us expressing interest in performing studies through ResearchKit. We think these types of the solutions have the potential to revolutionize medical studies in life-changing ways, and we’re proud that Apple is helping make this possible.

Dla mnie kwestie ResearchKit były najważniejszym newsem dnia. Szkoda, że nie dowiedzieliśmy się więcej.

80 tysięcy pacjentów Cedars-Sinai korzysta z HealthKit →

Tim Higgins:

Apple Inc.’s health-tracking software is being connected to patient files at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, marking the largest integration yet for the tech company’s foray into the health industry.

The hospital updated its online medical records system this weekend, turning on access to HealthKit for more than 80,000 patients, Darren Dworkin, chief information officer at Cedars-Sinai, said in an interview.

Możliwość dotarcia do wszystkich historycznych danych danego pacjenta, wraz z aktualnymi dostarczanymi na bieżąco, musi być ogromnym ułatwieniem dla lekarzy. Pytanie tylko jak odróżnić ziarno od plew, czyli rozróżnić dokładne pomiary od niedokładnych?

Apple: Open source’owy ResearchKit dostępny od dzisiaj dla wszystkich* →

14 kwietnia 2015 · 17:17

Apple:

Apple® today announced ResearchKit™, a software framework designed for medical and health research that helps doctors, scientists and other researchers gather data more frequently and more accurately from participants using mobile devices, is now available to researchers and developers. The first research apps developed using ResearchKit study asthma, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease, and have enrolled over 60,000 iPhone® users in just the first few weeks of being available on the App Store™.* Starting today, medical researchers all over the world will be able to use ResearchKit to develop their own apps and developers can also contribute new research modules to the open source framework.

The open source framework allows any medical researcher to take advantage of the initial modules in ResearchKit to study health and wellness and better understand disease. Developers can also build new modules based on the open source code and contribute them to ResearchKit. The initial customizable modules address the most common elements found in research studies—participant consent, surveys and active tasks.

* Pod warunkiem, że znajdują się w USA. Pozostałe kraje wkrótce.

Dobry początek dla ResearchKit →

Michelle Fay Cortez i Caroline Chen:

Stanford University researchers were stunned when they awoke Tuesday to find that 11,000 people had signed up for a cardiovascular study using Apple Inc.’s ResearchKit, less than 24 hours after the iPhone tool was introduced.

“To get 10,000 people enrolled in a medical study normally, it would take a year and 50 medical centers around the country,” said Alan Yeung, medical director of Stanford Cardiovascular Health. “That’s the power of the phone.”

With ResearchKit, Apple has created a pool of hundreds of millions of iPhone owners worldwide, letting doctors find trial participants at unprecedented rates. Already five academic centers have developed apps that use the iPhone’s accelerometers, gyroscopes and GPS sensors to track the progression of chronic conditions like Parkinson’s disease and asthma.

Jeff Williams o ResearchKit →

Mark Gurman:

In line with comments from Tim Cook at a recent shareholder meeting, Williams said that Apple “could have kept this closed, but that’s not really what this is about. This is about helping fight disease. And if contributions from another platform help save a single life, then it will have been worth it.”

To jeden z elementów, który cenię w tej firmie – po prostu czasami ROI nie ma żadnego znaczenia, bo chodzi o ludzkie życie.

“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.

Tajemne Laboratorium Apple dotyczące badań nad Health w ABC News →

Good Morning America:

Apple, known for keeping its product developments under the strictest of lock-and-key, gave ABC News exclusive access into its top secret health and fitness lab, where only Apple employees became test subjects for the new Apple Watch.

Ostatnim razem mogliśmy zobaczyć sekretne laboratoria firmy po aferach z wyginającymi się iPhone’ami 6 i z antenami w iPhone’ach 4. Tym razem wgląd jest przed aferą związaną z Apple Watch, w której dowiemy się, że powoduje on spalanie kalorii i chudnięcie. Obejrzyjcie też film.
