Apple today announced CareKit, a tool that will work with mobile apps to help people track and manage various conditions and diseases. The app can be used to collect data points for a range of afflictions and then shared with family members or medical professionals. The first disease being targeted with CareKit is Parkinson's. The company has forged several partnerships with research centers and medical facilities to help spur engagement. Apple will release CareKit to app developers later this year.
