overall progression of the research
study? Is the data management plan
appropriate? Are data clearly presented
to the researcher?
The evaluation process will begin by
anonymizing and removing those that
are not responsive to this Challenge or
not in compliance with all rules of
participation eligibility. Submissions
that are responsive and in compliance
will next undergo a review by federal
employees with expertise in the relevant
areas of science and executive scientific
advisors. A panel of judges consisting of
federal employees will then score
responsive and compliant submissions
entries in accordance with the judging
criteria outlined above. Final
recommendations will be determined by
a vote of the judges based on score.
Scores from each criterion will be
weighted equally, but failure to meet a
minimum standard for any one criterion
might disqualify an application. The
score for each submission will be the
sum of the scores from each of the 5
voting judges, for a maximum of 200
points.
Additional Information
What is ResearchKit? ResearchKit is
an open-source software kit designed
specifically for medical and health
research; it simplifies the creation of
iPhone apps that can help physicians
and scientists gather data from willing
participants. The framework allows
researchers to circumvent the
development of custom code for
common tasks such as sharing, storage,
and syncing of research data. It helps to
create apps to recruit human subjects in
research, present informed-consent
materials, create surveys and tasks, and
monitor sensors interoperable with
smartphone technology. ResearchKit
works seamlessly with Apple HealthKit,
a suite of applications that can interact
with the iPhone accelerometer,
microphone, gyroscope, GPS sensors,
and external hardware such as
glucometers, inhalers, and other existing
and newly developed sensors. These
capabilities could help monitor a
participant’s gait, motor impairment,
physical fitness, speech, and memory, to
name just a few. Additional hardware
extensions (add-apters) are frequently
developed and available.
It is important to note that the
ResearchKit framework does not include
a data management solution. The
framework can be used with a data
management solution only after IRB
approval of the human health study
with consideration of the provider’s
data privacy and security practices.
Apple’s ResearchKit debuted in March
2015 with five opt-in health research

apps, now available for free public
download. For more information about
Apple’s ResearchKit and the developed
apps visit https://www.apple.com/
researchkit/ and https://
nida.ideascale.com.
Features and modules currently
accessible and compatible with Apple’s
ResearchKit: Apple’s iPhones have a
number of built-in sensors, including
Touch ID, Barometer, Accelerometer,
Gyroscope, Proximity Sensor, and
Ambient Light Sensor. The Touch ID is
a biometric technology that provides
user identification through a finger
scanner, the Barometer measures
atmospheric pressure, the
Accelerometer measure the tilting
motion and orientation of the iPhone,
and the Three-Axis Gyroscope enables
3-axis angular acceleration around the
X, Y and Z axes, enabling precise
calculation of yaw, pitch, and roll. The
Proximity Sensor deactivates the
display and touchscreen when the
phone is brought near the face during a
call and the Ambient Light Sensor
adjusts the display brightness. All
sensors are available for the iPhone 6
Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5.
The only exceptions are the Barometer
sensor, which is only available for the
iPhone 6 Plus, and iPhone 6, and the
Touch ID sensor, which is only
available for the iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone
6, and iPhone 5S.
In addition to internal sensors, there
are a number of add-apters which work
with existing iPhones. The add-apters
can measure pulse rate, breathing
pattern, blood pressure, blood oxygen
saturation, heart rate variability,
galvanic skin response, and glucose
concentration, and can even help detect
ear infections and track inhaler
medication use. Some add-adapters can
be directly purchased through iTunes or
third-party vendors; others must be
purchased through a physician. Based
on the type of adapter, prices can vary
from $6 to $249.
