Apple, Donate Live America team up for organ donor program


Apple and Donate Life America announced today that, for the first time ever, iPhone users will be able to sign up to be an organ, eye and tissue donor right from the Health app with the release of iOS 10. Through a simple sign up process, iPhone users can learn more and take action with just a few taps. All registrations submitted from iPhone are sent directly to the National Donate Life Registry managed by Donate Life America. The ability to quickly and easily become a nationally-registered donor enables people to carry their decision with them wherever they go.

This aligns well with Apple's health initiatives, plus seems appropriate considering Steve Jobs benefited from an organ donation. Seems this program will make it easier to get on a donor registry and should boost participation.
