Precision Medicine’s All of Us Kicks Off

All of Us, the Precision Medicine Initiative

12 Jun 2017

All of Us, the Precision Medicine Initiative that aims to revolutionize the path to improving health, has launched its beta phase.
The All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to gather data from one million or more people living in the United States to accelerate research and improve health. By taking into account individual differences in lifestyle, environment, and biology, researchers will uncover paths toward delivering precision medicine.
The program intends to get at least 1 million volunteers to sign up to contribute information on their genetic makeup, environmental factors, lifestyle choices, medical histories, and personal device and sensor data.

“By providing information about their health, lifestyles, and environments over the course of many decades, these volunteers will be important partners in helping create an unprecedented research resource to drive future discoveries.”

–Program Director Eric Dishman
