The three-year study, called MIPACT, has already enrolled 1,000 participants. Over the next year, the university aims to add thousands more patients from its academic medical center, Michigan Medicine.
Data from the study, which is sponsored in part by Apple, will be available to participants as well as researchers studying health information, daily activity, wearable signals and participant-reported quality of life.
“Michigan Medicine and Apple are focused on participant data privacy and security, and we take our responsibility seriously,” MIPACT study lead Sachin Kheterpal, MD, said in a news release. “We’ve even implemented several new systems to maximize privacy and security.”
