The 6th Vital Sign is a national research study that aims to create a new marker of health. Powered by Apple s Researchkit we use a short walking test and questions about health to create a vital sign related to how people move. Vital signs measure the body s basic functions. They are supposed to be easy to measure at home or at a health clinic. Just like we use body temperature to assess general health and possible illness, we can assess health with the distance someone walks over 2 minutes. If every person knew his or her walking speed as measured on a mobile phone, we could use it as a new global indicator of health. As a 6th Vital Sign, walking speed could be used to know if someone is recovering from illness or injury, declining in health, or at risk for falling, depression or even not being able to safely cross the street.
