Apple CEO Tim Cook said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph, "The company is developing wearable medical devices, but Apple Watch will not become a medical device that meets regulatory requirements." This is because once a product becomes a medical device, it must undergo FDA's strict approval, which will delay the slowdown of Apple Watch release, thus slowing Apple's innovation process. However, Cook did not give up Apple's plan in the medical field. He told the Daily Telegraph that the company may submit a product to the FDA for use with the Apple Watch. "It may be an APP application or something else." Only products that are used to diagnose or treat a disease need to be approved by the FDA, which means that what Cook says is more than just tracking daily activities and heartbeats. This is the first time Apple has made it clear that Apple Watch will not be used for medical purposes. Although Apple Watch will certainly not be used for medical treatment at this stage, the market still suspects that Apple is developing some health-related products. There may be some basic products, including “health devices†that encourage people to develop good habits without FDA approval. Earlier this year, Baijian partnered with the PatientsLikeMe community website to track the daily data of multiple sclerosis patients through the smart wearable device Fitbit, and then participants agreed to share their data on the PatientsLikeMe website, which will then be sent to Baijian. Eddie makes further analysis. (Patientslikeme: "The same patient as me" is the largest patient social networking site in the United States, known as "one of the greatest change drivers in the field of medical care in recent years", bypassing traditional hospitals and research institutes, gathering A large number of patient data with precious privacy. Related reading: FDA and PatientsLikeMe collect adverse drug reaction reports). PatientsLikeMe has attracted a large number of pharmaceutical companies through its unique high-quality patient data, such as GSK, Genentech, etc., even the FDA has reached Collaborate to monitor the side effects of listed drugs. Apple has both wearable monitoring equipment and a large number of users and data, which has a natural advantage in the health care market. In the United States, the world's largest free market, health care is its pillar industry, accounting for 17% of its gross national product. Apple can't let such a big piece of cake, and it has been in the medical and health field for a long time, and the pace in the past two years has accelerated significantly. The author will sort out the layout one by one: Apple medical health field layout Start - Healthkit The Healthkit released at the Apple Release Conference in June 2014 integrates seven categories of information on physical data, fitness, personal, nutrition, results, sleep, and organs to fully display the user's personal health data. Among them, "Health Data" displays health data measured by wearable devices, such as body mass index, body fat percentage, walking distance, calorie consumption, and sleep. “Medical ID†mainly stores user information, including name, past medical history, history of allergies, taking medication, and emergency contact information. It can serve as a medical record in an emergency, for doctors to understand basic information. Popularly speaking, Healthkit is a third-party open software platform that provides data storage and aggregation services. Users can obtain physical physiological data through relevant hardware and provide it for analysis. By February 2015, Apple has reached a cooperation with 14 top hospitals in the United States. The agreement is to allow doctors to guide patients with chronic diseases through Apple's own health system, and give timely health advice before the onset. At the same time, more than 600 developers have integrated HealthKit into their health and fitness applications. The advantage of HealthKit is to build a healthy data platform for ordinary users and medical institutions and developers. It can completely change the way the health industry interacts with people. Companies such as Mayo Clinic, Epic, Nike's Nike Fuelband and Samsung's Gear Fitd are already using the app. At the end of April, HealthKit was connected to hospital electronic cases on a large scale to carry out in-depth cooperation. With the penetration of Apple into the medical field, more professional applications will gradually be put into use, and the collected user data will also increase.
