Technology now can manage healthcare and medical apps development from academic research clinical trials to care coordination from service providers. Tools from Apple, Google, Samsung will be intrinsic part of development process. Researchers can facilitate academic or pre-commercial clinical trials using ResearchKit by Apple or less-known ResearchStack by Google. Healthcare Startups can take advantage of HealthKit and Google Fit repositories on your mobile devices. Finally, services provider can utilize CareKit to manage treatment and coordinate care plans with patients.

3. ResearchKit
PARTICIPATION - ResearchKit has the potential to
solve this issue by widening customer reach given that
there are more than 1 billion Apple devices in use
around the world.
FREQUENCY - Research efforts are commonly limited
by subjective and infrequent data. ResearchKit offers
the possibility of continuous, streaming data.
CONVERSATION - Traditionally, participants enter into
a one-way communication paradigm whereas with
ResearchKit, participants can receive live feedback.

5. ResearchStack
SDK and UX framework for building research study apps on Android
Adaptation of ResearchKit apps to Android (and ResearchStack apps to iOS)
Using JSON and HTML files

6. Apple HealthKit
Vs.
Google Fit
Let’s check how these mediums are
influencing the entire ecosystem of health
app industry. What issues do these apps
endeavor to fix? Also how far these apps
differ from each other?

● Even how many times you've
fallen over.
● Custom ID fields
Apple
HealthKit ● Activity times and types

Google Fit?
Google Fit HealthKit

10. What’s lacking in
Google Fit and Apple HealthKit?
HealthKit, an interface for the iOS apps and devices on a user’s iPhone to
pass health data between each other, solves the Standardized Data
problem for iOS apps.
Google Fit, a cloud-based interface for apps on any Internet-connected
platform to pass fitness data between each other, solves the Standardized
Data problem for fitness apps – i.e., non-medical apps for diet, exercise,
sleep and weight tracking.
Problem 1:
Lack of
Standardized
Data

11. What’s lacking in
Google Fit and Apple HealthKit?
Developers must invent their own custom system.
-Neither HealthKit nor Google Fit provides a system for sharing between
people – both are designed for a single user to share data between his or
her own apps.
-Unless one creates their OWN link
For example, Epic Systems and Mayo Clinic have said they will use
HealthKit to enable patients of the Mayo Clinic to share their health data
stored in HealthKit with their doctor via the Epic MyChart app.
Problem 2:
Lack of Universal
System for
Sharing Between
People

12. What’s lacking in
Google Fit and Apple HealthKit?
-Apple provides iOS developers with a complete set of tools to keep data on
its devices safe and secure, as does Android, but neither Apple nor Google
enforce that developers use the tools.
-Security auditing tools are available from HIMSS and HealthIT.gov to assist
app developers in complying with data security regulations under the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Security Rule and
other best practices.
Problem 3:
Privacy and
Security

13. ● Passive data collection, ongoing feedback and impressive integration
capabilities combine to open up new opportunities and provide valuable
tools and services to consumers and healthcare professionals.
● A new generation of apps that offer patient-specific recommendations and
prescription information, based on data that flows into the app from the
HealthKit / Google Fit style framework.
● Research data to care management will have a seamless future!
