Research Kit will take medical research even further with custom made diagnostic tools

Apple has announced a new software framework specifically for medical research called Research Kit. It will allow developers working with HealthKit to turn their apps into powerful diagnostic tools.

Highlighting the difficulties associated with medical research, such as small sample sizes, Apple created Research Kit with a number of partners, including Oxford, Stanford Medicine, and University of Rochester. Users will be able to see correlations and trends right on their phone. You can determine what trials they are participating in, and what data you share.
