Apple Health Study to Understand Health Using iPhone and App Data

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting the Apple Health Study to create a diverse group of participants and improve understanding of how data collected from apps and devices can relate to health. The study focuses on various aspects including mental health, sleep, exercise, hormones, metabolic health, hearing, aging, lifestyle factors, neurological conditions, general health, wellbeing, and women's health. This is an observational study aiming to use this information to help predict, detect, monitor, and manage health changes. Participants in this fully remote study will use their iPhone and the Apple Research app to share data and complete tasks. They can select the types of health and sensor data they want to share, and will answer surveys covering personal demographics, medical history, family history, and social factors. There is no treatment or drug involved, as this study observes health information collected digitally. During the study, participants will provide baseline health status information and follow-up data every six months for up to five years. They will also share demographic details, lifestyle and environment information, and family health history. The study monitors these factors over time to better understand health trends. Participation involves regular surveys and data sharing via the app, with all activities completed remotely from home.
