Is the iPhone used for medical research for the first time just as a monitoring tool?

The iPhone is about to be used in serious medical research, and Apple's partner is the British pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline (GSK).

Apple launched ResearchKit a year ago, a software infrastructure for medical researchers that is similar to application development templates that allow developers to collect medical data for different research.

GSK has used ResearchKit as a mobile app that will serve as a monitoring tool for a clinical study covering 300 patients over a three-month period.

For rheumatoid arthritis, GlaxoSmithKline will use this mobile app to guide patients to articulate, then use sensors to track athletic data and allow patients to input feedback such as pain, fatigue and mood.

So this study does not involve any drug testing, and GSK says their purpose is to "observe the effects of disease in patients' daily lives" to optimize drug development.

This is the first time ResearchKit has been used in formal research. GSK is also one of the first partners of Apple on this platform. The two sides started cooperation in April last year. Another company that announced the cooperation is Purdue Pharma.

Key Intermediates

Intermediate – Intermediate: A material produced during a drug substance processing step that must undergo further molecular modification or refinement to become a drug substance. Intermediates may or may not be isolated. Intermediates are the key products of the previous process of making APIs, which are different in structure from APIs.

for example:

Amoxicillin capsules are called preparations, amoxicillin is called API, and 6-APA is called intermediate.

Ceftriaxone sodium powder is called preparation, sterile ceftriaxone sodium is called API, and 7-ACA is called intermediate.


Our company specializes in providing key intermediates for various APIs

Intermediate is a very important type of fine chemical products. Its essence is a type of "semi-finished product", which is an intermediate product in the production of certain products. For example, if a product is to be produced, it can be produced from intermediates, saving costs and reducing It is widely used in the synthesis of medicines, pesticides, coatings, dyes and spices. In the field of medicine, intermediates are an important link in the industrial chain of the pharmaceutical industry. They are used for some chemical raw materials or chemical products in the process of drug synthesis. In a word, they are used to produce APIs.
