Care providers and researchers from all over the world are producing new medical discoveries and advancing patient care with apps built using ResearchKit and CareKit – our open source code. With ResearchKit, CareKit and other tools you can develop an app that can drive health science through research at scale, or change the way you deliver care to patients beyond the confines of a lab or doctor's office. Discover how an app could take your work further and join a global community that is transforming health through technology.
With ResearchKit, you can build apps that enroll more participants and conduct studies at a scale never seen before. Move beyond the lab and reach people wherever they are for a more robust, real-world cohort.
Apps built with CareKit engage patients in their care and recovery by giving them the opportunity to track and share daily progress from their devices. Now care providers have the chance to connect with patients outside of regular visits, and gather insights to provide better care.
Each framework has its own customizable modules that can be used to create an app for research or care. Whether your app is used to conduct a research study or to offer better patient care, you can utilize elements of both frameworks to create it.
Capture relevant data at scale and derive valuable insights with a variety of different modules from ResearchKit and CareKit. Here is just a snapshot of what you can do.
