“Collecting real-world, real-time data through digital technologies will become a fundamental part of the program,” said Eric Dishman, director of the All of Us Research Program. The All of Us Research Program is now gathering this data in addition to surveys, electronic health record information, physical measurements, and blood and urine samples, working to make the All of Us resource one of the largest and most diverse data sets of its kind for health research. This data includes information about physical activity, sleep, weight, heart rate, nutrition, and water intake, which can give researchers a more complete picture of participants’ health. The project is a key step for the program in integrating digital health technologies for data collection.ĭigital health technologies, like mobile apps and wearable devices, can gather data outside of a hospital or clinic. Now, in addition to providing health information through surveys, electronic health records, and biosamples, participants can choose to share data from their Fitbit accounts to help researchers make discoveries.
The All of Us Research Program has launched the Fitbit Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) project. Participants can now link their Fitbit accounts to the program to share additional data for research
