- Apple has revealed a larger new health survey
- The company wants better to understand how technology can improve physical health, mental health and general well -being
- You can join using your iPhone, Apple Watch or AirPods
Apple has revealed a larger new medical study that could completely change the way we think about technology, health, research and medicine.
Apple Health Study “aims to further understand how technology can play a role in promoting and improving physical health, mental health and generally well -being.” It includes Apple’s own best iPhones, Apple Watches and AirPods. The new study is available in Apple’s research app, and “will also explore the relationship between different health areas, such as mental health influence on the heartbeat, or how sleep can affect training.”
The study is conducted in collaboration with leading research anti -clothing and Harvard teaching affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
Apple says it hopes to help tackle one of the biggest problems with medical research – limited number of participants and data. The company says that more than 350,000 people in the United States have participated in previous studies for women’s health, hearing and heart health and movement. Here are the details and how you can get involved.
The most ambitious Apple Health study yet?
Apple says the new study “aims to understand how data from technology-inclusive Apple and third-party units are used to predict, discover, monitor and manage changes in participants’ health,” and will also explore the connections between different areas of health.
It spans a wealth of different health and disease areas, including activity, aging, heart -vessel -s health, circulation health, cognition, hearing, menstrual health, mental health, metabolic health, mobility, neurological health, respiratory protection and sleep. In the past, Apple has focused its studies on such an area as hearing, making this new study the most ambitious, yet by some margin.
Apple says the new study “is designed to explore health changes and how technology can help identify important insights to future product development,” notes that when an aspect of health changes, the body can emit a physical or emotional signal . Identifying these changes can help offer a more proactive approach to health, with monitoring performed using health functions such as sleep apnea detection on the Apple Watch Series 10.
The best bit? If you live in the US, you can join. If you meet the minimum age requirements, you can sign up for registration via Apple’s research app. Participants can perform tasks and ask questions as well as read research. As you would expect with Apple, you can choose exactly what data you do and don’t share and you can retreat at any time.
