Apple Pushing Organ Donation Within Health App

(RTTNews) - Tech giant Apple Inc. (AAPL) has teamed up with Donate Life America to push organ donation in the country using the help of the next iOS software update.

David Fleming, President & CEO of Donate Life America, said, "By working with Apple to bring the National Donate Life Registry to the Health app on iPhone, we're making it easier for people to find out about organ, eye and tissue donation and quickly register. This is a huge step forward that will ultimately help save lives."
