Google has recently launched a health app for the Android phones with the goal of helping carry out medical studies. The app named Google Health Studies works with the goal of providing medical studies on respiratory illnesses such as flu, COVID-19, and others. The basic use of the app is to alert if there are any respiratory symptoms in order to take the necessary precautions to prevent the spread of diseases. The app is designed to collect the demographic data including gender, age, race, and others. The study will help link the mobility and spread data of COVID-19 to provide better information. The data captured will be sent to the researchers with the help federated learning technology that collects trends from different devices instead of relying on information obtained from each individual.
Google plans to beat Apple’s Research app with the launch of its latest Health Studies. Earlier, the studies on menstrual cycles, heart health, hearing, and mobility were launched. The researchers build an iPhoneapp for the Apple phones using ResearchKit program. It has been found that the studies run through the app provide outcomes just like any other commercial wearable products. The app is useful for people using Android phones. Furthermore, the data gathered is protected keeping the privacy in mind.
The researchers collect every granule of information so as to provide necessary details. Furthermore, android phone users have been found to have a less median income and this is found to benefit the Google Health Studies. Android is the most preferred by Amazon has it has a huge dataset. Thus, using Android to the best of its ability is what chief innovation officer of Boston Children’s Hospital, John Brownstein,who is working on the study with Google finds to be suitable.
