More importantly, HealthKit is working alongside the Mayo Clinic in what is truly a revolutionary feat. HealthKit will have the ability to alert a doctor should the user fall into a region of dangerously bad health conditions. Should your blood pressure rise or HealthKit report abnormal health issues, a notification can be sent to a doctor on your behalf to get something scheduled as a precautionary measure.
With the buy in of the Mayo Clinic CEO, Apple and HealthKit have something truly unbelievable on their hands.
