Rock Weekly: Apple:breadth as Google:depth

March 16, 2015

In less than 24 hours, Apple’s new ResearchKit did what would take 50 medical centers a whole year to do in traditional trials, albeit with some bias toward the rich and healthy. The platform is the latest example of the shifting center of care—but Apple isn’t the only tech giant tackling clinical data, they’re just prioritizing breadth by embracing open-source.

We are too. Join us for our free webinar on The State of Women in Healthcare on March 25th at 10am PT.
