People often learn new research through personal debate with their doctors. However, this survey conducted by Stanford University not only used smartphones to recruit consumers, but also provided funds by Apple. And this was related to identifying irregular beats using an application on Apple Watch.
Poston who already owned Apple Watch immediately registered with the Heart Study. Later he adopted Twitter, encouraged others to do the same, suggested that it is a breakthrough in medical care.
Mr. Poston said, "After the medical school is completed, the whole medical science can not revolutionize with technology."

Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other technology giants have changed the way that billions of people communicate, buy, socialize and work. As consumers, medical centers and insurance companies are increasingly introducing health monitoring applications, technology companies want to spend more than $ 3 billion of medical expenses annually. united states of america. Apple's heart research reflects the increase in this effort.
Companies are accelerating efforts to restore medical care by developing and working on new tools for consumers, patients, doctors, insurance companies, medical researchers. And they are investing in increasingly new medical institutions.

The first digital pills were allowed to worry about "older brother" biomedical NOV. February 13, 2017
During the first eleven months of this year, 10 largest technology companies in the United States signed a $ 2.7 billion medical capital contract with $ 2.7 billion. According to CB data, the dollar in 2012. Insights is a research company that tracks venture capital and new business.
Each technology company takes its own approach and relies on the fact that corporate assets can ultimately improve people's health or at least make medical treatment more efficient. For example, Apple deals with data focusing on Microsoft's online storage and analysis, a consumer product, and the alphabet, Google's parent company.
"The major reasons why many of these technology companies are currently in health are that the market is too big, too big, it's too personal to be ignored by the user," said John Prendergass, health vice president It is. , Ben Franklin Technology Partners, a non-profit organization in Philadelphia.
Physicians and researchers will find that new monitoring tools such as watches and smartphone applications will help alleviate illness and prolong life, or send so many doctors to physicians to conduct unnecessary tests as soon as possible I warn you that it is too long.
"There is no lack of exaggeration", Digital medical expert Eric Topol who runs the Scripps Translational Science Institute at Dr. San Diego. "We are beginning to learn these tools: who will help them, who does not have, who will become fear, fear, false positives?
The technical field is certainly not related to health. IBM, Intel and Microsoft have long experience of providing business services to the healthcare industry.
But now she and other companies concentrate on the creation and investment of new technologies for doctors, patients and consumers.
This year, Amazon was one of the fund raising investors of Grail, an emerging cancer screening company that raised over $ 900 million. Apple bought Beddit, the manufacturer of sleep monitoring technology, for an undeclared amount.
The alphabet is an American giant of health and biotechnology, taking over Senosis Health, an application developer monitoring smart health using smart sensors. Description.
The alphabet also has a research unit, Verily Life Sciences, devoted to the development of new health data collection and analysis tools.
This year, Verily introduced a VérilyStudy Watch health research device and has sensors to collect heart rate, walking and skin temperature data. Currently, this watch is used in research project "Project Baseline" which Verily funds to monitor approximately 10,000 volunteers.
Participants in the baseline survey will be invited to use the sleep sensor in bed and will undergo blood, genetic and mental health examinations. Researchers hope to better understand the onset of diseases such as cancer using data analysis and machine learning.
"We will create a device to collect information, a new molecular analysis, a device suitable for understanding health at a deeper level," said Dr. Jessica L. Mega, medical director of Berry.
Apple adopts a different approach and uses consumer iPhone and Apple Watch to help consumers monitor health and better manage.
"Apple is delivering drugs to hospitals and clinics and is about to tell consumers with mobile phones," said Murray Gandhi, senior executive at venture capital company Gray Rock Partners. risk.
In 2015, Apple introduced a new software called Apple ResearchKit for Health Research. Stanford University has used volunteers to participate in heart research and used to develop applications for tracking physical activity, sleeping time, physical condition.
Dr. Lloyd B. Minor, president of Stanford University School of Medicine, said that this application allowed researchers to safely enroll more than 54,000 patients and said that many patients were enrolled in a study conducted at the center. Doctors gather far more data than they had. In another way..
"It was our revelation," he said.
At Stanford University, we also operate the Apple Heart Study. The aim is to determine whether Apple Watch's application can accurately detect arrhythmias, especially arrhythmias related to atrial fibrillation. This is a condition that may lead to thrombosis or stroke.
When the application detects an irregular beat, it sends a notice to the participants and provides a free video conference to the doctor. This survey is not intended to evaluate whether people using the Observation App are lower than people with low stroke and cardiac deaths.
Microsoft, a leading provider of medical center software and cloud services, has expanded its healthcare business.
This year, Healthcare NeXT, an initiative to create products for medical professionals and patients using cloud services such as artificial intelligence and speech recognition, was announced.
As part of this effort, Microsoft cooperated with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center to develop a digital service that reduces the labor of doctors and improves patient experience. The project involves a virtual assistant to take notes of conversations between the physician and the patient, analyze the interview, and send a summary to the patient's electronic patient record. The medical center also performs a pilot test of the application notifying the doctor when one of the patients receives the prescription at U.M.C. pharmacy.

| Microsoft developed a platform to enable medical centers to create virtual assistants for patients. Aurora Health Care, a nonprofit based in Milwaukee, used it to create a health bot that helps patients decide which medical specialists to see and to make appointments. |
Peter Lee, vice president of artificial intelligence research at Microsoft, said, "We are focusing on what people in the medical industry are doing today and how to make them better.
Facebook is also expanding commercial activities and research activities in the health field.
Last year, Facebook made it more attractive for pharmaceutical companies to advertise drugs on the platform by introducing a continuous scrolling function that enables pharmaceutical companies to advertise drug side effects. Disclosure of such risks is required by federal regulations on drug marketing.
This year, Facebook's Virtual Reality Equipment Manufacturer, Oculus, in partnership with Los Angeles Children's Hospital, named V.R. Simulation for doctors and medical students to practice emergency management of high-risk pediatricians.
Amazon was not well-known about his health plan. But industry analysts speculate that Amazon could enter the pharmaceutical industry.
Topol of Dr. Scripps says that technology companies can see old systems and heavy systems, such as hospital alarms launching tens of dozen times a day close to the patient's bed. It is useful for medical treatment.
"There is no technology company not involved in any way or other way," Dr. Torpoli said. "Many companies think that this is between relief and a big business opportunity.
