Mobile App Development on
Apple’s ResearchKit
Apple ResearchKit is an open source software framework that will allow developers to create iPhone apps apps that can be used to collect data for medical research. This promises to bring the mobile ‘anytime anywhere’ ability to medical research data collection.
ResearchKit Modules
ResearchKit provides three modules that can be customized and built upon by the app developers. These modules provide base functionality for items commonly needed in medical research such as surveys, participant consent and simple active tasks that users perform such as walking, sitting and talking. The data generated by the surveys and active tasks is then made available to the researchers to analyze.
This module can be used to create visual e-consent templates to inform participants on what type of data will be collected via the app, why it is being collected and where it will be used. It also can help conduct quick quizzes to estimate participants’ level of understanding on the study and to collect their consent digitally on the app.
This module can be used to set up surveys by utilizing the pre-built user interface options to add questions for participant responses.
This module can be used to prompt participants to perform certain tasks that will generate data using the iPhone’s sensors.
