Description

Making the world a healthier place just got a lot easier. We invite you to join over 350,000 people contributing to groundbreaking research using Apple Watch and iPhone. Your participation will add to an unprecedented initiative that has already led to new insights in human health and advancements in Appleʼs health technologies. 1. Join the Apple Women's Health Study, conducted in partnership with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and National Institute of Health Sciences to help advance the understanding of menstrual cycles and health conditions such as infertility, osteoporosis, and menopause. 2. Join the Apple Health Study, conducted in partnership with the Brigham and Women's Hospital to explore different areas of health. Researchers are especially interested in the interconnectivity of various areas of health, such as the relationship between the menstrual cycle and heart health, or how hearing health can influence mental health. The study brings together diverse perspectives to advance science and develop features that work for us all. 3. Join the Apple Hearing Study, conducted in partnership with the University of Michigan to help advance the understanding of how sound exposure levels over time can impact your hearing, stress levels, and cardiac health.

    These are the researchers who actually run the study—say, at Harvard or Brigham & Women’s. They’re the ones analyzing the data, so they can be granted access to things Apple promises to keep “de-identified.” But “de-identified” is elastic. It might still include timestamps, location ranges, device type, or physiological readings—data that can quietly re-link back to a person if cross-referenced. Apple frames it as: “Researchers get only coded data, and Apple doesn’t know who you are.” But the flip side is: “The investigators may hold the key that reconnects your code to your real identity for medical follow-up or regulatory purposes.” So, if the university partner needs to contact you about an abnormal heart rhythm or to verify a consent form, they can technically do that. Legal In short: If the study ever becomes part of a medical-device submission, drug trial, or faces an ethics review, those bodies have the right to inspect the underlying data—including any “sensitive” information Apple otherwise keeps locked down. Apple builds the vault, but the study partners hold spare keys—and regulators can legally demand a master key.

    I don't understand how my cell can supposedly gauge my physical activity when I don't have my cell with me most of the time?!
  • Great concept needs stability improvements

    Love the idea of these studies. Frictionless to participate in. Current issue is that the app doesn’t recognize my AirPods Pro 3’s to complete the task.
  • App doesn't work right

    Every time I start one of the hearing tests after the right ear the app says my head phones are disconnected even though they aren’t so can’t do it if your app isn’t working

    I am a veteran who has tinnitus and I joined your hearing study. I do not have a pair of headphones to participate in it the way you would like. Is there someone in the study either from the University of Michigan or Apple that may have access to the equipment needed to properly conduct the study. Please let me know if there is any information on what I am asking?

    I’ve been a participant in various studies for 4+ years. I can say without any bias, the Apple Research app works perfectly without fail. The other participants who complain about performance need to look at their device as the source of their pain points. The app FUNCTIONS to collect data. It’s not about who is using the data or if you agree with how it’s collected OR managed… Remember if you can, it’s a SURVEY!!!! Participation is NOT MANDATORY, remember???
