Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is launching a health app that will help organ donors, and those in need of an organ.
The technology will be rolled out with the release of iOS 10–it will be called iOS 10 Health. The app will include a sign-up option that helps you enroll as a donor.
You can sign up to be an organ, eye or tissue donor through Donate Life America, a nonprofit alliance of organizations that help organ donors in 47 states.
Apple’s decision to take an active role in this issue is partly in homage to Steve Jobs, who experienced quite a bit of suffering as he waited for a liver transplant in 2009.
iOS 10 will be launched in September.
Apple stock is down 1.4% Tuesday.
