Yesterday, technology circle most fire of is Apple spring launches, and medical technology circle most fire of things is Apple launches Shang surprise to official released has new of medical research platform ResearchKit, more let China medical circle people by concern of is Apple CEO Cook behind of display Shang appeared has a China hospital: capital Medical University Xuanwu hospital from Changchun Street to San Francisco, Xuanwu hospital what is how, and why appeared in has Apple of new launches Shang of does? This afternoon, involving medical plan interview with mPower for Parkinson's ResearchKit platform experts, Xuanwu hospital, capital Medical University Department of Neurology, Deputy Director, Neurobiology Professor Chen Biao, Director of the Research Office, seeing how he viewed the mPower involved project, as well as his hot moves on the current medical thinking.
First, what is ResearchKit?
Launch Apple COO Jeff Williams at the press conference to explain the background and purpose of the ResearchKit: medical study has several limitations, one participant recruitment, often requires a large number of volunteers for medical research; the second is relatively subjective survey data; the third is the data very frequently. Apple's idea: so far, 700 million iPhone handsets sold, and each set of iPhone handsets are a smart hardware can record users ' health information, why not take advantage of the large user groups, where there is a will to participate in medical research?
So, Apple co-including Xuanwu Hospital of capital Medical University with several well-known medical institutions around the world, this framework has developed one of the first five APP, namely Parkinson's mPower, GlucoSuccess against diabetes, cardiovascular MyHeart Counts, for asthma, Asthma Health, Share the Journey against breast cancer.
Second, Xuanwu hospital appeared at the press conference?
Reports indicate that Xuanwu hospital public medical research organization with nonprofit Sage Bionetworks, University of Rochester developed Parkinson's disease research treatment application of mPower. This app are interested in Parkinson's disease research users and medical institutions to better analyze and upload daily monitoring data.
"I was six months ago, are involved in this project. I am the Member of international movement disorder society, it has a long-distance medical working group of the Commission, and I are members of the Group of experts, so they are an invitation to the world after my talk "
Chen Biao told the hospital policy, as medical experts, all they can do is to help the company do top design, ensure that the product will be used in clinical research.
Professor Chen Biao introduced precisely because Xuanwu hospital patients, they found, Xuanwu hospital. "The Xuanwu hospital admissions in patients with Parkinson's disease, China is the most hospital, in 2014 the number of admissions for the year the disease reaches more than 35,000 passengers. "Professor Chen Biao said. This clearly confirms the Xuanwu hospital partner sidifen·fulande, President of Sage Bionetworks, "traditional clinical study, 500 a study you are excited for a long time, now, think about 20,000 subjects willing to participate in your study what kind of story it is. "
Third, Xuanwu hospital why?
Professor Chen Biao told medical policy, Xuanwu hospital participation mainly has two aspects. One is for patients to use, self observation; the other hand to allow doctors to use doctors to observe, and then use this Terminal to study related issues.
On the data access, who all wear Apple Watch watches can upload data and mPower clinical studies in patients with Parkinson's disease, their data collection to Apple on the cloud, medical institutions to get involved in the research collected data.
Apple Watch can only buy in patients with Parkinson's disease monitoring and medical bodies? If hospitals want to monitor patients with Parkinson's disease or to purchase Apple let them Watch? Obviously not, explained Professor Chen Biao, buy Apple among those who Watch, the number of patients with Parkinson's disease should be small, Apple Watch watches will be configured in this electronics technology that would be used for non-Apple Watch owner. Medicare now covers part of the wearable device, simply lease such equipment to patients in hospitals, but only if doctors to provide patients with the appropriate services. GUCCI Galaxy S5 Case
Four, why Apple choose the monitoring of Parkinson's disease?
Professor Chen Biao for this application showed a very positive expectations. First, in the past, patients are seen by doctors at the hospital, see each individual patient, and in a particular place, can't monitor all patients conditions. Patients with Parkinson's disease could shake each day, may intermittently not shaken, doctors expect to rely on a Terminal to break time and space constraints of real-time patient monitoring data.
Secondly, the illness is often manifested in the form of Parkinson's patients, not devices can be detected. This shows that Parkinson's is an appropriate choice to use as a tool for monitoring the disease.
Moreover, Parkinson's death no, but let the patient a lot of pain, the dependence of this disease requires a doctor's participation was strong. When doctors see a patient, and if we can get all of his data on diagnosis and intervention can provide a great deal of support. Also, it can help doctors new methods of research and development of new drugs and patient management. Therefore, the needs of doctors and patients is very strong and necessary.
Five, "ResearchKit really launched mobile"
"The data we receive is very much, but only have the purpose to obtain data that is meaningful." Chen Biao told medical policy, ResearchKit where the Mpower platform, its expected effect is very good, "it really launched mobile", which makes you truly know what a mobile medical, before that many mobile medical are just concerned about "convenience", there is no central role in "doctor" participate in mobile without touch industry "pain points."
Mobile health care should really solve problems for the patient, especially for those in time and space, requires continuous management of disease, mobile medical value is large. Now many forces pushing health care business in the community, that in itself is very good, if doctors can genuinely participate in mobile medical, real hope of this undertaking. Chinese doctors are too busy now, China has nurtured the "people" doctor, we all just "tubes", no real management of patients. GP is a good model in foreign countries.
How to get more doctors involved in mobile? In the view of Professor Chen Biao, this also depends on the national health care system and mechanisms of change, many of the existing benefit structure was moved, mobile medical care on the health care reform will have a greater catalytic role, suddenly "subversion" is unlikely, but step by step.
Professor Chen Biao said Parkinson's, Xuanwu hospital, Government, research institutions and enterprises being studied are similar but higher than the current level of mobile products, may be within six months of clinical use.
"Patients with Parkinson's disease, 5 million people around the world, and half of the patients in China, Apple launch more Chinese elements, this proves that China's size and its position in the market cannot be ignored. "Chen Biao told medical policy.
