catalyze.io - Getting started with Apple HealthKit - Part 1

"With HealthKit, Apple puts end users in charge of their health data on a
very granular level. Before you can use HealthKit you need to request
access to the types of data that you want to read or write. If you want
to be able to list the user's birth date and weight but want to record
temperature readings, then you would need to request read permissions
for birth date and weight while requesting read and write permission for
temperature."

y - Apple’s ResearchKit Takes Medical Research Years Into the Future

"Apple worked with five medical institutions, associated with places like
Harvard, Stanford, and Mount Sinai in New York City, to come up with the
first five ResearchKit-based apps. They represent studies of asthma, dia-
betes, heart disease, Parkinson’s, and breast cancer. (You can enroll in the
heart, breast cancer, and Parkinson’s studies even if you don’t have those
diseases. The researchers will use your data as a control.)"
