Pharmaceutical company GSK (GlaxoSmithKline) used Apple's medical data platform ResearchKit for rheumatoid arthritis research, marking the first time that pharmaceutical companies have adopted the Apple mobile health system for clinical research.
GSK hopes to obtain data on activities of more than three hundred months and more than three months. Volunteers are also required to record physical and psychological conditions such as pain and mood. ResearchKit's open source nature enables Glaxo applications developed from its platform to use mobile phone sensors and wearable devices to record actions and provide manufacturers with wrist movement measurements. The company will use the results to better conduct clinical trials.
Save time and money, but the sample may not be representative
Not everyone has a heart that contributes to medicine. For more than three months of observation experiments, according to the traditional method, volunteers should wear medical instruments for three months, which affects life. The key is to record personnel. This inconvenience makes it difficult for clinical researchers to find three hundred samples. “It may take months or even years to recruit volunteers,†said RobDiCicco, head of GSK's clinical innovation and digital platform group. “And also paying for the site. Cost, labor costs for nurses and doctors to record information, etc.".
The way to collect data using a mobile phone or a wristband is obviously much more convenient. Volunteers don't have to carry heavy medical instruments everywhere, and can complete medical data collection and automatic recording without the knowledge of others.
By using ResearchKit, the London-based GSK can reduce development costs and save millions of dollars. Pharmaceutical manufacturers must balance the relationship between data accuracy and data collection costs, and if the success of this research may accelerate pharmaceutical companies to use Apple's data platform for clinical research.
Of course, given the selling price of thousands of dollars for Apple phones, some analysts say the sample data may be tilted toward the wealthy population.
ResearchKit’s original intention seems to be reached
When various bracelets seize the market, Apple wants to do something different. The bracelets that collect fitness data such as the number of steps and heartbeats have spread all over the street. The rumors of the suspension of production of Jawbone, the originator of the previous bracelet, have been raging. Fitbit is also caught in the lawsuit of data misrepresentation. If it can enter the medical industry , let pharmaceutical companies and research institutions pay for it. Undoubtedly a good way to increase sales.
