Apple Inc's HealthKit is going to be used by two prominent U.S. hospitals that are preparing for the launch of the device's trial with patients suffering from diabetes and chronic diseases.

HealthKit by Apple is the spotlight of a new healthcare system, reported Reuters. Glucose monitors along with their accompanying iPhone apps and other regulated medical devices will be able to send information to the HealthKit. With the approval of the patient, HealthKit gathers information from a number of health apps to enable doctors to view it all in one place.

Apple is currently in talks with U.S. hospitals about the HealthKit. Chief Medical Information Officer of Stanford Children, Christopher Longhurst said that among all the hospitals, Stanford and Duke were among the furthest.

Stanford University Hospital doctors are working alongside Apple to help the physicians track blood sugar levels in diabetic children while Duke University is working on a pilot device to track blood pressure and other measurements for those suffering from cancer and heart diseases.

In the first trial by Stanford, the children with Type 1 diabetes will take home an iPod touch which will help them monitor their blood sugar levels between their visits to the doctor.

The aim of the trials is to improve the accuracy of the data which is currently done through phone and fax. The pilot programs, that will come out in the next few weeks, can help the doctors to warn patients of a potential problem.

In a news release announcing the new version of its operating system iOS8, Apple mentioned that the trials would be taking place but the details of the trial weren't made public and so Apple has refused to comment about it.

HealthKit is designed to work with health care providers around the United States of America which includes hospitals that are currently experimenting using technology to help improve preventative care and to lower the cost of healthcare.

Apple has already announced that one of its partners would be Epic Systems Corp and now DexCom Inc, a company that makes blood sugar monitoring monitoring equipment, in in talks with Apple, Stanford and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
