GlaxoSmithKline is using Apple’s ResearchKit to monitor rheumatoid arthritis sufferers

GlaxoSmithKline is the first pharmaceutical company to make use of Apple’s ResearchKit.
The system launched two years ago, allowing iOS developers to create surveys tracking the health of participants.
Glaxo is using it to record how mobile 300 respondents are over a period of three months with the option to record additional data such as a pain rating and their mood.
Integrated with the iPhone, the device measures mobility, using a wrist exercise as the basis for the data.
