Developing a companion Apple Watch app for Labcoat simply felt like a logical next step for the product. With its advanced set of dedicated health sensing technologies, the Apple Watch empowers physicians with the ability to collect detailed heart rate data from patients remotely as part of their study. Additionally, physicians can choose to create active tasks for the Apple Watch that keep track of patient workout activity. During these active task workouts, the physician could choose to trigger questions to appear on the patients wrist if a particular event is detected (for example if the patient stops to take a break on a walk). In the mockups of app itself, patients can quickly glance at their current progress in the study by entering the timeline view, or begin one of the activities created by the physician.
