Overview
This study aims to help researchers better understand health conditions and develop improved tests, treatments, and cures for diseases. Joined Bio collects health data, lifestyle information, biological samples, and feedback from participants and provides this to qualified research partners.
Description
Primary: The primary objective of this study is to connect participants with specific health profiles, along with biospecimens and associated de-identified health data, to scientific researchers who are searching for new diagnostics and treatments for a wide array of conditions. This will accelerate medical discovery by connecting medical research with the power of patient participation.
Secondary: The secondary objective of this study is to allow participants with specific health profiles, along with their de-identified health data, to help further the cause of medicine generally through interviews, surveys, and other minimal risk research activities desired by life science organizations.
