"Today we are proud to announce research kit." The software framework lets researchers easier create apps and turns the iPhone + Health Kit into "powerful diagnostic tools," Williams said.
So far there are five apps targeted at some of the world's most serious diseases. For instance, mPower is an app that lets anyone with an iPhone contribute to Parkinson's research. A quick tapping test can evaluate hand tremors. You can also say "Aaahhh" into the microphone and the processor can detect vocal variations. You can also stick your iPhone in your pocket and take a walking test. The gyroscope and accelerometer can measure your gait. -

And - that's a wrap! To recap everything we learned today:
•Apple is releasing its thinnest and lightest MacBook ever. It will ship April 10.
•The MacBook Air is getting a performance boost. The 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display now inclues a Force Touch trackpad. Both updates are available today.
•Apple TV is now being slashed to $69.
•Apple Watch: Lots of goodies here, but the key takeaway is pre-orders for the wearable start April 10 and it will be on some customers’ wrists beginning April 24.
