What is CareKit?

CareKit is an open-source framework that helps you build beautiful care apps.

Three components:

• CareKitUI: provides static views that are perfect for displaying that data.
• CareKitStore: provides health flavored data models and a core data layer for persistence.
• CareKit: ties the UI and store layers together by providing synchronization between the two

What's new

• CareKitUI:
  • Some UIKit views now also have a SwiftUI variant
  • New SwiftUI-exclusive views

• CareKit:
  • Synchronized SwiftUI views
  • WatchOS support (via SwiftUI)

• CareKitStore:
  • You can now use data in HealthKit alongside CareKit data to create HealthKit-driven tasks
  • FHIR compatibility via the new CareKitFHIR package
  • New CareKit Remote synchronization APIs
