Apple Drops CareKit on GitHub

ple on Thursday made its CareKit platform available through the GitHub open source community.

CareKit joins two other previously released Apple frameworks for developing healthcare apps -- HealthKit and ResearchKit. It was designed to enable developers to create apps that give users a more active role in managing their health.

Apps developed through CareKit will let people track symptoms and medications, and share the information with their doctors to get a better picture of their health, Apple said.

Four New Apps

Four applications that use the framework are available:

• Glow Nurture, a pregnancy tracker that allows expecting moms to log activity and find information about what to expect next in the course of their pregnancy;
• Glow Baby, which picks up where Glow Nurture leaves off and lets a new mom keep tabs on things like feeding schedules and infant growth;
