Reuters reported that 14 of 23 leading hospitals it contacted said they are using a pilot program of Apple’s HealthKit service — a repository for such patient-generated health information as blood pressure, weight or heart rate – ”or are in talks to do so.”
The aim ”to help physicians monitor patients with such chronic conditions as diabetes and hypertension” Reuters says that such Apple rivals as Google and Samsung Electronics ”are only just starting to reach out to hospitals and other medical partners.”
