Apple launched Apple's heart research (AAPL Heart Study) on November 30 to use Apple Watch to test the heartbeat abnormalities in patients with atrial fibrillation. Apple Watch is good for people's health but it is not currently a medical device. Apple operating long Jeff Williams interviewed by CNBC, asked about Apple's medical research in collaboration with Stanford University School of Medicine if there is positive results, the future Apple Watch can become a medical device (medical device), Williams replied that he was convinced that Apple Watch was good for people's health and medical practices, but classified it as a regulated medical device, he did not think the study was enough to make Apple Watch a regulated medical device. . In this study, the properties of app or related software applications will be determined by the relevant research results. Williams also admits that Apple is convinced that Apple Watch is the best personal device the company produces, and that Apple does think Apple Watch helps users in their healthy lives, but they have never imagined how much a simple heart-rate monitor could help a person's life, Shocked by the influx of thank-you notes, which inspired Apple to engage in more research. Williams also explained to the interviewer that the company is constantly speculating about whether Apple intends to develop a healthy career, but insists that Apple's focus is on empowering consumers to play a more active role in health. Williams believes that the current role of people in medical behavior is rather passive, but this situation will change. In the future, people can receive more health information that is relevant to them, and everyone will play a more active role. However, he insists that this trend does not diminish the importance of physicians, who, on the other hand, will receive more information in the course of the treatment process and more interaction with users to improve their lifestyles. Medical Business Opportunities Unlimited personal privacy should be properly handled Williams does not mince the point that the medical profession is indeed full of huge business opportunities, but Apple is now focused on strengthening the personal field, strengthen the consumer's ability to participate in its health services, so there are many opportunities to do so. The interviewer also asked, is Apple treating health as a bona fide business, or is it a kind of charity that provides services for consumers in need? Williams ' response was quite ingenious, he says Apple has spent a lot of time trying to reconcile these two aspects, which it sees as an opportunity to strengthen consumer power, but if the process is to be willing to wear more smart devices, it is also good for Apple, but at the moment the company aims to develop better products and services. But Williams declined to disclose any information about Apple's current hardware products. When talking about sensitive personal medical privacy issues, Williams said Apple had already announced its ability to feed users ' health information, but the company stressed that everyone in the world has the right to own health information, and that the right place to store personal health information is the people using the device, and from a personal privacy standpoint, Sharing health information depends entirely on your own will and rights. Unfortunately, many people now have medical records that roam the servers of many companies around the world. Apple firmly believes that personal health information should be stored in every person's equipment, this is the future health of the correct development of the cause.
