The goal of the All of Us Research Program is to advance precision medicine.
Precision medicine is health care that is based on you as an individual. It takes into account factors like where you live, what you do, and your family health history. The goal is to be able to tell people the best ways to stay healthy. If someone does get sick, precision medicine may help health care teams find the treatment that will work best.
The longer a person stays involved with All of Us, the more they can learn about themselves and help speed up health research. People who join can choose to see their own health information. In the future, this might include information from DNA tests and health records.
