Researchers Gather Health Data For ‘All Of Us’
The All of Us precision medicine initiative, which federal taxpayers are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into, is the biggest mission ever to create a public pool of data that scientists can use for clues about health and disease.
The plan is to recruit a million Americans for a program that will not only gather all sorts of medical data about them, including blood samples, medical information and fitness readouts, but will also follow them for at least a decade, possibly longer.
Some say this big data approach to medicine will be revolutionary, but others aren’t so sure.
