The trials are meant to improve the accuracy and speed at which HealthKit records data.</p> <!--break--> <p>Both Stanford University Hospital and Duke University are running these trials, each targeting different patient groups, according to Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/15/us-apple-health-idUSKBN0HA0Y720140915?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=technologyNews):</p>

<p>Stanford University Hospital doctors said they are working with Apple to let physicians track blood sugar levels for children with diabetes. Duke University is developing a pilot to track blood pressure, weight and other measurements for patients with cancer or heart disease.</p>

<p>Medical device manufacturers are also talking to Apple, along with hospitals and the Food and Drug Administration, about HealthKit integration.</p> <p>Are you glad to see that hospitals are beginning to work with HealthKit? Leave your thoughts in the comments.</p> <p>Source: Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/09/15/us-apple-health-idUSKBN0HA0Y720140915?feedType=RSS&amp;feedName=technologyNews)</p> </div></div></div><div id="comment-wrapper-nid-27031"></div><img width='1' height='1' src='http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/3e7ba7be/sc/14/mf.gif' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
