Apple Puts Skin in the Game to Support Breast Cancer Research

First and foremost, for the millions of people who have received treatment for breast cancer, it’s a way to use smart phones to better understand and manage the collateral damage of those treatments. And, at the same time, to contribute de-identified data to a larger pool of knowledge that will help breast cancer patients in the future.
