Too often, health care is one size fits all. Treatments meant for the “average” patient may not work well for individual people. Health care providers may find it difficult to coordinate care among specialists or to access all of a patient’s health information. Researchers may spend lots of time and resources creating new databases for every study. All of Us is working to improve health care through research. Unlike research studies that focus on one disease or group of people, All of Us is building a diverse database that can inform thousands of studies on a variety of health conditions. This creates more opportunities to:
Know the risk factors for certain diseases
Figure out which treatments work
best for people of different backgrounds
Connect people with the right clinical
studies for their needs
Learn how technologies can help us
take steps to be healthier
