ResearchKit did in 24 hours what would normally take 50 medical centers a year – Stanford University

9 to 5 Mac - Stanford University said that 11,000 iPhone owners signed up for a heart health study using Apple's newly-announced ResearchKit in the first 24 hours–completely unprecedented numbers.

"To get 10,000 people enrolled in a medical study normally, it would take a year and 50 medical centers around the country," said Alan Yeung, medical director of Stanford Cardiovascular Health, speaking to Bloomberg.
