<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Apple has updated their App Store review guidelines to ensure that medical testing apps meet ethical standards.</p> <p>Apple's latest rule in the iOS App Review Guidelines comes on the heels of the public introduction of ResearchKit (http://www.imore.com/researchkit), an open source framework for building medical research applications.<!--break--> Rule 27.10 now requires apps meant for research on human subjects to gain approval from an ethics board before they will be approved for the App Store.</p> <p>From Apple (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/):</p> <p>Apps conducting health-related human subject research must secure approval from an independent ethics review board. Proof of such approval must be provided upon request.</p><p>After its limited debut in March, Apple recently made ResearchKit available to medical app developers (http://www.imore.com/apple-makes-researchkit-widely-available-developers-and-researchers). As noted above, the framework is open source, letting developers build their own modules on top of it, and contribute them to ResearchKit for future improvements.</p> <p>Source: Apple (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/), via 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/04/28/apple-human-medical-research-apps-ethics-board-approval/)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/45dae64a/sc/28/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/> <a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/225507410620/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/45dae64a/sc/28/rc/1/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/225507410620/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/45dae64a/sc/28/rc/1/rc.img" border="0"/>[/url] <a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/225507410620/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/45dae64a/sc/28/rc/2/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/225507410620/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/45dae64a/sc/28/rc/2/rc.img" border="0"/>[/url] <a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/225507410620/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/45dae64a/sc/28/rc/3/rc.htm" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/225507410620/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/45dae64a/sc/28/rc/3/rc.img" border="0"/>[/url] <img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/225507410620/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/45dae64a/sc/28/a2.img" border="0"/> (http://da.feedsportal.com/r/225507410620/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/45dae64a/sc/28/a2.htm)<img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/225507410620/u/49/f/616881/c/33998/s/45dae64a/sc/28/a2t.img" border="0"/><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~4/jXnxfPjQ3-s" height="1" width="1" alt=""/> Source: Apple now requires ethics board approvals for medical research apps (http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~3/jXnxfPjQ3-s/story01.htm) |
