Apple's HealthKit for iOS 8 being tested at 60 per cent of top 23 US hospitals

Apple's centralized health tracking and aggregation HealthKit features are reportedly being tested at 60 per cent of top 23 US hospitals. Launched as part of iOS 8 last year, HealthKit aims to revolutionize mobile health tracking not just by measuring health and movement but by keeping a tab of user's specific health conditions, vitals and even real-time reporting of a sudden change of condition to user's health care providers. 

HealthKit has already been adopted in various hospitals to remotely monitor patients with "such chronic conditions as diabetes and hypertension." HealthKit is a big initiative for Apple and it has managed to demonstrate the advantages of the apps and system ahead of competitors.
