To whom it may concern, After reviewing the documents, we realized that SensorKit is available only for the research study. I'm writing this email to ask two questions regarding the purpose of Sensorkit. First, Are you planning to open the Sensorkit for regular apps with a focus on health and wellness or it's going to be limited to only Research? Second, if it's going to be limited to only research, then what would be the goal of the app/research if we can't provide to everyone and scale the business (of course with user permission and consent)?

I appreciate your time in advance and looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks, Mohsen

Our company is also interested in this. Although currently we are running our own research study within our first-party app, we intend to also run research studies on behalf of our customers by providing them with an iOS SDK to include in their apps for data collection and analysis to predict realtime changes in their end-users' health. If there were a way to request the end-user's consent in order to collect the necessary sensor data inside third-party apps, that would be a giant leap towards improving health outcomes for potentially millions of users. Is Apple considering enhancing the SensorKit approval process to include customer apps that import swift packages developed with the necessary entitlement?
