so what does Apple have to do with clinical research find out coming up
hey guys Serg here back with another video today we've got an interesting one
and it just came out maybe a week or so ago that Apple will be opening up a
second campus in North Carolina in the Raleigh Durham area so a lot of you guys
may know Raleigh Durham is an up-and-coming area in the whole United
States in general for a number of reasons one it is a clinical research
hub it is probably one of the best clinical research hubs particularly
because I mean you've got San Diego LA which is which is good
you've got the Northeast which is good but you've got a great low cost of
living area here it in the Raleigh Durham area we've got a whole bunch of
clinical research organizations here but it's also low cost of living so that's
why I think Raleigh Durham is one of the best places for clinical research
because of the low cost of living mixed with the absolute amalgam of sea arrows
in the Raleigh Durham area you've got CEOs health which was before IMC
research and inventive who both had presences in Raleigh Durham area you've
got Duke Clinical Research Institute which does hundreds thousands of
clinical research projects I don't know if a year but they they have a lot of
experience you guys know Duke as the big brand that they are so Duke you got to
respect that you've got quintiles IQ via which is the
largest CRO and their their headquarters is based in the Raleigh Durham area
you've got PPD you've got PRA you've got par Excel you've got health decisions
you've got smaller CEOs like hey no research all based or have a presence in
the Raleigh Durham area not to mention you've got three cornerstone
universities you've got North Carolina State University
you've got UNC Chapel Hill which also does clinical research you've got Duke
University which has their own clinical research institute not to mention they
have a med school also so that really is ripe for a lot of clinical research
activity going on but of course Apple as we know right now
is not particularly in the clinical research business or are they well
they're opening up a second campus here in the raleigh-durham area and they're
saying that they're gonna bring 10,000 jobs to the raleigh-durham area now I
don't know about you but any time an employer is planning on bringing 10,000
jobs that's great news because that's going to create more competition so
that's gonna mean a lot of people are probably going to leave clinical
research and go to Apple or who are like data managers or statisticians or people
like that data security those type of jobs so that's going to create an
increased demand for those jobs hopefully increasing the salaries of us
clinical researchers and people in those companies altogether so I think this is
a great thing and you know who knows what Apple is gonna do in the future
they have been thinking about healthcare obviously they've got there was that the
Apple watch which they they have come out with a couple iterations of and
clearly they've got the health app on there on the phone on the iPhone which
apparently they're going to be syncing with the electronic medical record so
clearly there's gonna be a connection with healthcare and I think that's one
of the reasons why they chose the raleigh-durham area to move that second
headquarters because they're gonna be focusing a lot on healthcare in the
future I guarantee it and you've got all of these biotechs here I mean I haven't
even gotten to all the tech companies that are here that are in the Raleigh
area also let's see what you've got IBM you've got Cisco you've got Merck
you've got GlaxoSmithKline you've got Pfizer so you've got sponsors and you've
got tech companies that are headquartered or based in the
raleigh-durham area so Apple moving to the raleigh-durham
area is a strategic move very strategic for them not to mention Raleigh Durham
has the space to facilitate it and then to also think that the Raleigh Durham is
still in the running for Amazon to get those 50,000 jobs also so Raleigh Durham
is about to be an absolute for clinical research in tech if you're
in clinical research in tech you definitely want to be in raleigh-durham
right now because it's not super expensive yet to live but it clearly
it's gonna be trending that way as they gets more and more jobs people are gonna
want to live in the raleigh-durham area but this is huge news and not to mention
I'll do a video about this also but I saw a job from Google for clinical
research associates now typically when one of these behemoths like a Google is
doing something Apple is closely looking and is gonna be doing something else
similar to that so what the heck is Google doing hiring clinical research
associates we're gonna delve a little bit deeper into that in another video
but Apple may not be far behind with doing their own clinical trials and
especially because they have the Apple watch you know they're gonna be able to
collect data from patients maybe 24/7 or collect data from patients when you
normally wouldn't be able to because typical typical trials have patients
going into the site you know on an ongoing basis every week or whatever it
is I reckon few weeks or every month having an Apple watch or giving patients
an Apple watch could definitely change the game and give people a lot more data
on patients for better faster clinical trials so we're definitely gonna pay
attention to that but this is huge news Apple is doing this and this is gonna
have ramifications in clinical research and we may not feel those for you know a
few years after they move or even a few years after that but this is definitely
a strategic move and I bet you you heard it here first they're gonna make a move
into the clinical research somehow some way so we definitely to keep an eye on
that so obviously put any questions down below if you've heard any news also
about the raleigh-durham and Apple comment down below I'm interested to see
what you've heard also but this is huge for the raleigh-durham area and I think
for CEOs and biotechs all together could they be working with Apple could
they be partnering with Apple in the future I guess we'll see all right guys
