SAN FRANCISCO Andrea Conti AC Milan Jersey , March 11 (Xinhua) -- Researchers at Stanford University's medicine school have developed an application for the newly released Apple Watch, in what could become the world's largest up-to-date research ever done on cardiovascular diseases.


Apple on Monday unveiled Apple Watch, which also features a software platform called ResearchKit, allowing medical researchers to develop apps for their studies and recruit participants worldwide.


Located in northern California, close to where Apple is headquartered, Stanford University was one of the first to announce the launch of an app on the platform, called MyHeart Counts Andre Silva AC Milan Jersey , to track user's heart rate and find ways to prevent and treat heart diseases.


"There are two major elements to the study," Michael McConnell, professor of cardiovascular medicine and principal investigator for MyHeart Counts, said in a written statement.


"One is collecting data as broadly as possible on physical activity, fitness and cardiovascular risk factors, which provides important feedback to the participants and helpful research data for our study," he said Alessio Romagnoli AC Milan Jersey , "The second is studying ways to help people enhance activity and fitness, and decrease their chances of heart disease."


Thanks to Apple Watch and its built-in motion sensors, the data sent to MyHeart will be immediate and reliable, with participants undergoing quarterly reports and physical tasks suggested by researchers. However, researchers claimed that MyHeart's main goal is not just to become another health app.


"MyHeart Counts aims to be the largest study of measured physical activity and cardiovascular health to date," McConnell said.


"We want people to join in this research effort to give them personalized information about their heart health and help provide fundamental new insights into how activity helps your heart, across all ages Alessandro Guarnone AC Milan Jersey , genders, cultures and countries," he said.


MyHeart Counts also aims to prevent future heart failures by modifying participants' behaviors and finding out which ways actually work.


"The future needs a much more ongoing engagement with people's health. We need to understand how to reach out to modify behavior long before we end up having to see someone for a heart attack or stroke," McConnell said.


Apps like Stanford's do raise concerns that personal data may be at risk of being misused or hacked. Apple assured its customers on Monday that none of the information on ResearchKit will be sold to or used by third parties and since it is an open source software, it will be easy to detect bugs.


Other universities and research centers have also enrolled into Apple's health framework. Weill Cornell Medical College, Mount Sinai and Life Map have created an app to alert people with asthma to avoid areas that could trigger an episode, while another app helps people with Parkinson's disease monitor their symptoms.

China witnesses rising fascination for smart watches and bands as consumers snap up latest must-have items


Guo Wanting was ecstatic when he heard that Apple Inc would release its smartwatch in China.


The 33-year-old automotive engineer in Shanghai has always been a bit of a "tech geek" and could not wait to get his hands on the latest must-have gadget.


"I went online and immediately placed an order for the watch," he recalled, buying the cheapest model at $349. "Once it arrived, I immediately showed it off to my friends on WeChat."


Guo's story is not unique as China is being swept by a passion for wearable smart bands and watches. Naturally, the major international players are muscling in.


At the top of the scale is the Apple Watch, which was rolled out in April. Prices range from $349 to $17,000 for the limited edition model of 18-karat gold.


The Moto 360 Riccardo Montolivo Jersey , which was unveiled by Lenovo Group Ltd, the multinational Chinese technology company, is considerably cheaper at $249. It is the first smartwatch available in China which runs on Google's Android Wear operating system. Down at the bottom of the market, Jawbone Inc, a world leader in consumer technology and wearable devices in the United States, launched a smart wristband here as early as 2013.


Last year, Garmin Corp Ricardo Rodriguez Jersey , which is well known for outdoor electronic products and is based in Taiwan, also released a smart wristband along with market leader Fitbit Inc.


But then the market for wearable devices is expanding rapidly. By late July, technology company Xiaomi Corp in Beijing announced it had sold more than 6 million smart wristbands since they first appeared in Chinese stores last year.

"Because of the advancement of Internet accessibility Patrick Cutrone Jersey , wearable tech has expanded to everyday consumers through continuous innovation," Oliver Rust, managing director of Nielsen China, a leading information company, said.


This has prompted Huawei Technologies Co Ltd to jump on the bandwagon. The Chinese technology company has signed a deal with Jawbone to integrate its "health and fitness application" into a wide range of Huawei wearable devices.


Even online platform WeChat, which is part of Internet heavyweight company Tencent Holdings Ltd, has developed a single Nikola Kalinic Jersey , centralized operating system for smart bands and watches.


After starting in the health and fitness sector, WeChat plans to "connect everything eventually". Already in first-tier cities such as Beijing, consumers can even use a basic wearable "tracker" device, o.
