Excited to see our wearables data in @AllofUsResearch published in @NatureMedicine
Grateful to the #participants,
#coauthors and everyone who has helped build & support this amazing program and advance precision medicine
#TeamScience
One of the largest wearables datasets for biomedical research is available through NIH's All of Us Research Program. 59,000 participants. 14 years. 39M step observations. Linked to EHR, genomics, and surveys. A new real-world data resource to understand activity, sleep, and chronic disease.

NIH funding cuts could cost the U.S. $16 Billion and 68,000 jobs. An interactive tool from @joshuasweitz and team shows the local impact across the U.S. - down to the county level. This isn’t abstract - these numbers affect real communities and real lives: scienceimpacts.org
