ResearchKit, an open - source platform for creating iPhone
apps that collect
healthcare research data, will bring together huge swathes of personal data from a significant portion of the population.

app has the potential to help in the fight against HIV, tuberculosis and malaria in the developing world, bringing the concept of mobile
healthcare to reality,» said Ali Yetisen, a PhD student in the Department of Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology, who led the
research.
