Apple's Research Kit Development Framework for Iphone Apps Enables Innovative Approaches to Medical Research Data Collection

In March 2015, Apple announced a new iPhone application development framework for medical research called Research Kit [1]. Research Kit makes it easy for investigators and software developers to build applications for collecting medical research data. No doubt investigators are excited by the potential for Research Kit. Hundreds of millions of people have iPhones, and may now contribute their iPhone data to medical research on a scale that has not been available before.
