Apple’s healthcare ambitions are mostly centered around its flagship devices. In recent years, the company has marketed its iPhone and Apple Watch devices are all-in-one tools for customers to keep better track of their health and wellness.
But it goes deeper than that. Apple also creates developer toolkits, like ResearchKit and CareKit, that are already changing the way health studies and chronic care are being carried out.
It’s also taken an active part in facilitating actual health studies. It recently launched its Apple Heart Study in conjunction with Stanford University, for example.
Those ambitions may even go so far as first-party care. Apple has its own clinic system for employees and dependents.
