Large-scale data collections are available to academics and medical researchers, but who participates and who has access is often up to a coordinating entity that owns the data. The All of Us research program is an effort from the Precision Medicine Initiative that aims to change this.
With a goal to collect data from more than 1 million voluntary participants, All of Us will serve as a public data repository for everyone from educators to medical researchers that will provide data from all populations, including healthy people and those typically overlooked in clinical trials and medical research efforts.
In this episode, we’ll take a closer look at All of Us in a discussion with one of its data curation leads, Dr. Robert Carroll of Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
We also talk to USF Health’s Director of Informatics and Analytics programs, Dr. Athanasios Tsalatsanis, following his attendance at a conference for the American Medical Informatics Association, where All of Us was a big topic of discussion.
