Apple’s ResearchKit is now open to all medical researchers, doctors and scientists, as well as developers working with them.

In a press release, Apple said that over 60,000 participants have already enrolled in the first few apps that were launched alongside ResearchKit. These apps were designed to study asthma, breast cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Parkinson’s disease.

ResearchKit comes with a set of most common elements found in research studies, including the Participant consent template, Surveys and Active Tasks.“We are delighted and encouraged by the response to ResearchKit from the medical and research community and the participants contributing to medical research,” said Jeff Williams, Apple’s senior vice president of Operations. “Studies that historically attracted a few hundred participants are now attracting participants in the tens of thousands.”

The open source framework allows any medical researcher to study health and wellness and better understand disease. ResearchKit comes with a set of modules address the most common elements found in research studies. These include the Participant consent template that can be customized to explain the details of the study and obtain participant signatures; Surveys that provide a pre-built user interface for easy customization of questions and answers for study participants; and Active Tasks, which enables researchers to gather more targeted data by tuning into iPhone’s sensors. Additionally, developers can build new modules based on the open source code and contribute them to ResearchKit.

ResearchKit apps can access data from sensors to gain insight into a participant’s activity levels, motor impairments, memory and more. The platform can sing along Apple’s HealthKit, and use data from the Health app such as weight, blood pressure, glucose levels and asthma inhaler use.
