物聯網-IBM透過 Apple 手機在醫療研究上合作

IBM & Apple Expand Partnership to Help Transform Medical Research/IBM Watson Health Cloud to Provide Secure Cloud Platform and Analytics for HealthKit and ResearchKit App Data 

根據2015/4/13 IBM新聞稿, IBM宣布他的採用蘋果的ResearchKit and HealthKit frameworks 來建構Health Cloud 並成立Watson Health business unit 可以提供醫療研究中心儲存醫療資料並提供分析服務。

Apple's HealthKit enables developers to create consumer health apps designed to give users a more comprehensive way to manage their health and fitness, and ResearchKit is an open source software framework that gives medical researchers the tools to accelerate medical studies. HealthKit can be used to create apps that monitor health behaviors and help encourage users to adhere to their treatment plan. Participants who opt-in to apps using ResearchKit can also contribute their health information to medical research/science/medicine.

IBM will de-identify and store health data in a secure, scalable cloud system that enables researchers to access and share data in an open ecosystem environment, as well as have access to IBM's data-mining and predictive analytics capabilities. Health and fitness app developers and medical researchers will be able to draw on data at a scale that until now has never been available. For apps using HealthKit and ResearchKit, IBM will provide a delivery platform through Health Cloud to easily store, aggregate and model data, combining it with other data sources and types to enrich research findings and identify the next frontiers of medical discovery.

IBM will also build a suite of enterprise wellness apps using HealthKit. These IBM MobileFirst for iOS apps will be designed for enterprises to work with their employees to better manage their health needs across acute diseases to general fitness.
