What a load of crap. The author has no idea how medical research is actually performed. It's very hard and expensive and data-collection/analysis is a tiny, tiny challenge relative to the complexities and costs of developing novel therapeutics. I'm not saying ResearchKit is a bad thing, but I work in the pharmaceutical industry and this isn't even a blip on anyone's radar. Get real.
