Important discoveries are at your fingertips.
In 2015, ResearchKit was released to help researchers tackle some of the most common challenges facing medical research. Since then, researchers have been able to launch groundbreaking new studies through apps that reach participants at scale and produce breakthrough insights.
Informed ConsentGather informed consent from your participants quickly.
Study participants can provide signatures directly on their device.

Survey FunctionEasily build questionnaires for your users.
Leave pen and paper behind and create surveys that are easy to complete from any iOS device.

Active TasksUse active tasks to capture sensor information.
ResearchKit uses Apple device sensors to measure a variety of tasks. Select any of the below to view a sample.
