These studies are all designed to be digital, meaning that participants don't need to show up anywhere for testing. If the Apple Heart study is any indication, the company could seeper study, although it remains to be seen whether participants will remain engaged for years. Apple has also outlined a detailed consent process, which might also put off some potential users.
