Carplay

Apple announced that it has established partnerships with all the world's well-known automobile manufacturers, and by the end of this year, more than 40 cars will be equipped with Apple's Carplay system.

Apple Pay

Apple Pay has partnered with 2,500 banks and retail stores, with more than 700,000 retail institutions accepting Apple Pay. By the end of this year, 100,000 Coca-Cola vending machines will accept the service.

HealthKit

Apple announced the opening of its medical survey interface HealthKit, which will be a medical project focusing on professional medical information. Apple has teamed up with a number of hospitals at home and abroad, including the Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University, to collect, process and diagnose data.

Users can monitor their body functions through simple tests. For example, for Parkinson's symptoms, users can use iPhone to complete simple self-examinations including voice and steps, or use apps for different diseases to understand their diseases and record patient information. More importantly, the data collected through iPhone will provide a lot of valuable references for medical workers, just like establishing a shareable medical record database among medical staff around the world.

Currently, five applications for different diseases will be released today, targeting Parkinson's syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, the five most common diseases at present. Due to the large number of users, China will be the main battlefield for disease data collection. This medical survey interface will be fully open to third-party developers. Starting next month, developers can use this interface to develop apps for more diseases.
