I'd like to see Apple run some opt-in scientific trials.
For example: Does active noise cancellation result in more or less hearing loss?
Or Alcohol consumption: Apple Health could ask each day how many drinks you had and many people want to track it anyway. Correlate that to health metrics at a wide scale. It'd be much more powerful than any currently existing study given the userbase likely to opt-in.
Let people see exactly the data that will be uploaded prior to consenting to alleviate any privacy concerns. They already have stronger data-protection and anonymity mechanisms than those used by most studies built directly into the phone.

Apple did run something like this in their heart research study. But not specifically counting drinks, just more survey like questions.

- aeternum 2y agoCool, I didn't realize this was a thing. Kind of disappointing to see only 2-3 studies available through the Apple Research app though, I wonder why it isn't more widely used. Do most research teams have to build their own app?
