Apple And Stanford University Launch Heart Study On Apple Watch<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Apple<\/a> has today launched a major health experiment called the Apple Heart Study.<\/a><\/p>\n

In a partnership with Stanford University School of Medicine, the study uses the heart rate sensor on the Apple Watch<\/a> to collect heart rate data and in turn better understand the condition of an irregular heart beat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One such example of this is AFib, a condition that affects potentially tens of millions of people and can lead to blood clots or even heart failure.<\/p>\n

The problem is that for many, the symptoms needed to diagnose it go completely unnoticed.<\/p>\n

This is where Apple comes in. Millions of people now have a pretty accurate heart rate sensor on their wrists in the form of an Apple Watch.<\/p>\n

Using the data anonymously collected by the heart rate sensor, researchers at Stanford are hoping to not only better understand irregular heart rates but even potentially reach a stage where gadgets like the Apple Watch can predict if they\u2019ll lead to something more serious.<\/p>\n

The study is currently only available in the US and includes a dedicated app that once installed will not only send data anonymously to Stanford but will also notify the participant if it detects an irregular heart beat.<\/p>\n

Once notified they\u2019ll also get a free video<\/a> consultation with one of the study\u2019s medical professionals through the app.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If further study is needed they could then send the user a BioTelemetry electrocardiogram (ECG) patch which would then need to be worn for seven days and can then be used for further diagnosis.<\/p>\n

The study is the latest example of a series of tools that Apple calls<\/a> HealthKit and ResearchKit.<\/p>\n

While HealthKit stores all the health data that it collects, ResearchKit then allows universities to create apps that can then collect and analyse that data anonymously through Apple.<\/p>\n

There have been a number of studies so far ranging from tackling dementia to helping people handle the stress of having a cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n
