New Apple CareKit health apps help users manage medical conditions

Apple is edging its way a little further into health care with the release of new iPhone apps that patients can use to manage their own medical conditions — from diabetes to pregnancy and even depression.
While there are hundreds of health-related apps on the market, Apple wants to put its stamp on a new ecosystem of treatment programs. Rather than build the apps itself, the tech giant developed a set of software tools and templates, called "CareKit," that health-care groups and health-tech startups can use to create their own programs.
Apple says it wanted to help developers build easy-to-use apps for patients to record symptoms, get useful information, track their progress and even send reports to a doctor. Experts say the CareKit program could help bring standards to a relatively new and unruly industry, while giving Apple a toehold in the growing health-tech market.


 Lets be blunt here. After the iCar fiasco where they couldn't cooperate with a german company because apple wanted ownership of any data the car generated, its pretty obvious that this "CareKit" is really a "SpyKit" , and they want to know what health conditions you have so you can be spammed with every quack remedy in the world and Apple can make a profit.

Which wouldn't be so bad if these remedies were labled "Warning : Quack Remedy - Do Not Use" , but since they're not , it's guarnteed a few people will believe the false claims of this quackery, false claims that start with "STOP USING ACTUAL REAL MEDICINE" and proceed to empty your bank account.

Telling a diabetic to stop using his metforman and insulin should be a crime , if you ask me. And these Quacks routinely kill people via that method , and then complain real medicine occasionally kills people too.

Disgusting.
