With the September 9 Apple convention approaching, HealthKit finally to meet with you. The signal released by HealthKit is clear: Apple wants to do more with mobile medical services. At present, there are thousands of third party health and health software applications, medical equipment in the collection of user health data, but the problem is that these data can not be centralized storage. What Apple wants to do is not just act as a data container, but also want to help medical workers use the data. "Apple will enter the mobile medical market as a data entry point, and it wants to build a one-stop health data Management Center," said Skip Snow, analyst at Forrester Research, a market researcher.

However, along with the "connection" and "large data" is necessarily the data security and user privacy issues. On this point, Apple is not unprepared. In the newly updated HealthKit cooperative Privacy Policy, Apple has made it clear that all app developers accessing the HealthKit platform can optimize their own services by acquiring the appropriate user data, but not the data available to advertisers and other for-profit data organizations. However, Apple allows developers to use data for medical research with third party medical institutions. In a word, can not be HealthKit on the user data to profit, otherwise, will be deprived of access to the HealthKit platform qualification.

With this regulation, it is possible that many mobile health apps are in vain. Apple also hopes to remove users ' concerns about HealthKit services through this move. It seems that Apple not only want to unified mobile medical, but also hope that this lake can be healthy development.
