In recent years, Apple is working hard to develop medical health-related projects, but recently there have been personnel changes within the company and related projects may be affected. According to CNBC, Apple Health Researcher StephenFriend has left at the end of 2017.
The famous health researcher Stephen Friend joined Apple (2016), which was a great news for the health industry at the time.
It is still unclear why Friend left. But what is certain is that he is driving Apple to play a key role in the health industry around security, privacy and consent.
Although Friend did not confirm the news of his departure, his LinkedIn has been updated, he is now an "independententrepreneur".
After Friend joined Apple, the latter just launched a series of health projects called ResearchKit, HealthKit and CareKit. Since then, Apple has announced a partnership with Stanford University, using the AppleHeartStudy application to help collect irregular heart rate data with AppleWatch and warn users who may have atrial fibrillation (AFib).
Friend is not the first health team member to leave Apple. In December last year, Anil Sethi, the head of the Apple Health team, left and set up his own medical record company.
