🚨eConsent can promote research cost-effectiveness & equity, but how does it compare to traditional consent in terms of informedness? In this RCT, we found the eConsent framework used by NIH's All of Us & Apple ResearchKit was noninferior (& in an exploratory analysis, superior)

We were told NIH funding cuts were about eliminating DEI.
But the data now shows grants are down across nearly every field of medicine: cancer, diabetes, mental health, brain disorders.
With the greatest cuts hitting Alzheimer’s research, down more than 50%.
