Too much Apple WRISTJOBBERY could be BAD for your HealthKit data
Users of Apple's healthcare data app platform - intended to allow developers access to healthcare info collected via its wristy watch gizmo - could be left wide open to security exploits, infosec bods have warned.
The ResearchKit and HealthKit platform is intended to allow health researchers to aggregate information collected from iOS users who opt-in to contribute their personal medical data.
Tim Cook told CNBC that in the project's first 24 hours Apple had 11,000 people sign up for a study in cardiovascular disease through Stanford University's app. Apple has not disclosed the number of developers who will use the platform.
