MentorMate Partners with TreeHouse Health for Talk June 16

MobCon Digital Health has partnered with TreeHouse Health to present an exploration of Apple HealthKit and Google Fit June 16.

Understanding the evolution of health and health IT is a task bigger than just one organization can take on. It will take the input and insight of many to help drive the industry toward meaningful progress. That’s why MentorMate has partnered with TreeHouse Health to present an exploration of Apple HealthKit and Google Fit.

Within the last few years, Apple and Google both unveiled software development platforms for developers to create health kits, allowing physicians, researchers and consumers to track and participate in their health more than ever before.

MentorMate subject matter experts Jay Miller and Kyle Simmons will deconstruct HealthKit, Google Fit, ResearchKit and CareKit from a user, business and developer perspective June 16.

Presentation takeaways include:

+ A clear understanding of Apple HealthKit and Google Fit

+ Recent examples of successful case studies

+ How patients can collaborate with caregivers

A history of health kits

Apple’s HealthKit debuted in June of 2014, revolutionizing the way health apps were developed. The new software allowed for health apps already in development to integrate with Apple Health allowing consumers to see their health information in one dashboard.

In addition to HealthKit, Apple more recently developed ResearchKit and CareKit, two tools allowing for further use of connected devices in medical research. While ResearchKit allows for medical researchers to gather data, CareKit allows for the consumer to better understand and participate in their health. CareKit brings a sense of ownership to consumers, helping them understand the cause and effect of exercise, food, sleep and medication.

Google Fit joined the health software development kit game in late 2014. This software allows consumers on an Android platform to track a variety of activity as well as sync with other apps and connected devices, such as smart scales or dietary apps to achieve a holistic view of activity and well-being.

Forwarding research with health IT

Both of these platforms are contributing to medical research. Universities including the University of California San Francisco are seeking consumers willing to participate in an atrial fibrillation study.

This study allows consumers with either an Apple Watch or Android Wear to participate and aims to collect information from the consumers’ health apps in conjunction with their wearable devices’ heart sensor and the Cardiogram app. Information is then sent back to researchers to help them understand warning signs and detection of atrial fibrillation.

Although these health software development kits allow consumers to track their health and researchers to better understand a disease or condition, they mean big differences for developers and businesses like.

Jay and Kyle will give their talk “Apple HealthKit vs Google Fit: What Works, What Doesn’t and What’s Next,” previously given at MobCon Digital Health in Minneapolis, on Thursday June 16.
