How Apple is using its watch to push deeper into health care
Summary
Largely overlooked amid all the buzz on Tuesday over the latest iPhone, wearable and streaming service was the fact that Apple (AAPL) announced three new research partnerships with some of the biggest health care organizations in the country. “Studies conducted with commercial cycle and fertility tracking apps have great potential for making important contributions to science, because they can enroll much larger samples of women and from far more diverse backgrounds," Wilcox said. “The Googles, Amazons and Apples of the world can provide [artificial intelligence], and having both access to data and enormous computing power,” Block said. For example, Haven, the highly publicized venture by Amazon (AMZN), Berkshire Hathaway (BRK) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM), formed almost two years ago, but has yet to make any headlines, or headway with its stated goal. “I’ve been in the industry for 20 years and have heard some of this stuff before,” Block said, pointing to initial buzz over digitizing medical records that failed to live up to the hype.
