Using iPhone sensors and participant surveys, the Share the Journey: Mind, Body and Wellness after Breast Cancer app tracks five common issues related to breast cancer treatment: fatigue, cognitive difficulties, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and reduction in exercise performance.

Taking research out of the lab and into the real world.
Until now, taking part in a medical study has usually required traveling to a hospital or facility to complete tasks and fill out questionnaires. With ResearchKit, you can use your iPhone to perform activities and generate data wherever you are, providing a source of information that is more objective than ever possible before. This is invaluable to the progress of medical research — and we can all have a hand in it.
What’s more, many of the apps built with ResearchKit will enable you to track your own data and potentially discover correlations between symptoms and daily actions such as diet or exercise.
“We can’t continue to treat people with a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. The kind of data that ResearchKit will provide may be very useful in helping us understand serious diseases and what individuals can do to hasten recovery.”
