Health Tech focuses not only on developing intelligent hardware, but also unlocking the power of massive data within the health industry.
Innovative and cost-effective delivery models that are able to reach more people by bringing healthcare to them instead of pushing towards an care facility.
The use of data-driven technology is more present across all the value chain of healthcare (diagnose, treat and care delivery), with a focus on patient data centralization.
Shift from volume to value: Thorough powerful data collection and analytics, develop predictive and personalized health services that harness mobile connectivity.

Research kit:
It’s an open source development platform for medical, clinical and healthcare research (study).
It gather a robust amount of data regarding specific medial research.
It’s mainly directed towards academic health research (such as universities), but also used by medical providers.
It has the ability to turn iPhones and Apple Watches into a medical research lab, regardless the location.
The more users it capture, the more powerful insights it could produce.
Current major studies: Parkinson, Autism, Heart studies.
Users can:
Track their progress, symptoms, issues, or any variables related to the health issue being researched.
Use apple hardware within the iOS devices:
Gyroscope: track movement
Camera: capture image, face recognition, video, etc.
Care Kit:
An open source development platform for medical care outside the hospital or medical providers.
It allows the user/patient to continue their care at home and manage their medical conditions through technology.
It supports post-incident recovery, care and general medical continuity.
Current major uses: Heart attack recovery, diabetes, childcare.
Users can:
View a consolidated plan of their recovery and care actions
Prescriptions

The healthcare industry has lagged in terms of data innovation, consolidation, strategy and technology.
The US is one od the countries that spend the most in Healthcare. It spends around 17% of its GDP in Healthcare programs (public and Private)
https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/chart-collection/health-spending-u-s-compare-countries/#item-u-s-health-spending-growth-higher-1980s-similar-since
Most of the investment goes to medical equipment and infrastructure, as well as administrative costs of healthcare programs.
The investment in data-driven strategies is not tangible from the Government expenditure point of view.
The disruption and unleash of massive health data is leaded by health tech startups and tech corporations that aren’t necessarily based in the Healthcare Industry.
The health information is scattered in different sources
Own data and third party data are all over the place. While the Health app records native movement and physical activity, its stored only in health app.
Some third party apps don’t store the info on apple health app, which causes that you have different databases for your health data.
The Information form Care Kit and Research Kit is specialized and it’s not massive. It depends on the developers how they use that data in the end.
Currently the Health app is not using predictive models for the public
The Health app is more of a repository for many apps and OWN information.
It doesn’t present any integration with SIRI
It doesn’t not chow predictive capabilities (machine learning/AI)
Apple still lacks additional health metrics
The Apple Health App doesn’t have too much historic health data cause it was introduced recently (in the past 5 years).
Genetic information doesn't’t come from neither of the data sources mentioned before.

CENTRALIZE
Although a lot of data is stored in the Data, some data is spread across different apps and databases.
Some apps don’t automatically store the health and activity data in the Health App.
They either have the option but it’s quite hidden.
Or they don’t have integration with the Health App at all
Redirect as much information as possible to the Health app, coming from other App store apps.
Force third-party apps to store their data in the Health App, while keeping the option to turn it off available for the user.
Centralize and store all health, activity and lifestyle information coming from third-p[arty apps in the App Store.

Heath Analytics as a Service (HAaas)
HAaaS combines the on-demand aspects of cloud computing with the democratization of information enabled by big data analytics.
Whilst collecting both real time and retrospective analytics, there is potential capability to provide all 4 types of analytics, that is, descriptive, predictive, prescriptive, and discovery in a service-oriented fashion. It leverages the latest technologies and best practices for big data analytics and also utilizes the security and privacy measures appropriate for health and medical data.
Utilizing this paradigm of computing in health informatics will benefit patients, care providers, and governments significantly.
CYBERSECURITY
The current security infrastructure is not ready to store that amount of sensitive data
FRONT END
Apple’ 2-factor authentication(login into Apple device and also login again in cloud) is not enough for personal health data privacy protection.
Since the Health App is going to store much more data. It needs to have more encryption and security layers that before.
BACK END security
Personal health data(if include personal DNA data) is encrypted in both Apple device or Cloud is not enough. Who knows someone can hack into in the future?
Working with third-party, partnership, or centralize all the personal health data in the database in hospital would be a potential risk.
DATA PRIVACY
With more information being sotred in the Health App, there’s higher concern about the use and access to that information
Working with third-party, partnership, or centralize all the personal health data in the database in hospital would be a potential risk.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
1. Separate the name and other information(disease, DNA, etc)?
2. Export health data without the name or with ID but no name?
3. Third party and partnership need to have the same level data privacy protection.
4. Tokenization? Encryption? Maybe not enough.
5. Data access governance: Providing visibility into what and where sensitive data exists, and data access permissions and activities, allowing organizations to manage data access permissions and identify sensitive stale data. These tools help automate, at scale, the challenge of addressing the low-hanging fruit of data protection—sensitive data discovery and cleaning up data access permissions to enforce least privilege—as data volumes skyrocket

http://www.markwk.com/data-analysis-for-apple-health.html
Public legislation (such as HIPAA) doesn’t address healthcare data stored on a mobile device.
HIPAA “safe harbor” guidelines require removing specific dates from patient data, for individual privacy
As an example, only the year when symptoms emerged or treatments were tried can be shown. So which treatment was tried first? And for how long? Was the patient hospitalized before the treatment or three months later? All of a sudden, the data aren’t so helpful.
The coverage of HIPAA and related laws to the data collected by the Apple Watch depends on who is storing and using the data, as well as to the creation, maintenance, reception and transmission of the data.
An example of such a case would be when a user (a patient of Mayo) transmits health data from an Apple Watch or health app to the Mayo Clinic App. At the point the health data is received by Mayo, since Mayo qualifies as a covered entity under HIPAA, then the health data qualifies as protected health information and is HIPAA-protected.

FDA APPROVALS
Class III products, or technologies that might have higher risk but also a higher benefit. (Think: implantable pacemakers.)
For Class II and Class I, the FDA doesn’t give “approval,” it just gives clearance and Class I and Class II products are lower-risk products
Class I example is something like a tongue depressor — and it’s much easier to get clearance than approval
The Apple Watch is in Class II, however, has emphasized that it has received a “de novo” classification for the EKG feature.
That means that, although it’s still in Class II in terms of risk and hasn’t gone through as much testing as an “approved” device, it’s unlike anything else on the market. It is the first direct-to-consumer EKG wearable.
Apple got Class II this year for advanced method of monitoring the heart called an electrocardiogram (EKG), and the other is the Watch’s ability to detect and notify the user of an irregular heart rhythm. The irregular heart rhythm came through the research with the Sandford University in the Research Kit
