Sadly the All of Us program (of which I am a research subject [and researcher]) hasn't done any sort of imaging or ECG. They did draw blood, so that allowed for genome sequencing. That may also, in principle, allow for assaying new biomarkers (I don't believe anything like that has been funded though).


Thanks for the insight! I have used UKB data extensively, but haven't seen much from All of US, so I was wondering if I had missed something. . .


All of Us is great for disease labels and for genetic validation (and discovery). I like it a lot. I just have... ideas for how they could make it more valuable. Ideas that I stole from Rory Collins. https://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/media/gnkeyh2q/study-rationale.p...


2009-2010 Meaningful Use criteria required physicians to implement electronic care records.

There's now FHIR for sharing records between different vendors' EHR systems. There's a JSONLD representation of FHIR.

Which health and exercise apps can generate FHIR for self-reporting?

Can participants forward their other EHR/EMR records to the All of Us program?

Can participants or Red Cross or other blood donation services forward collected vitals and sample screening data to the All of Us program?


The imaging reports are being imported, but not the images.

The bigger issue is that clinical imaging is done due to medical indications. Medical indications dramatically confound the results. A key element of the UK Biobank's value is that imaging and ECG are being done without any clinical indication.


So they need more data from healthy patients when they're healthy in order to determine what's anomalous?

SIEM tools do anomaly detection with lots of textual log data and sensor data.

What would a Cost-effectiveness analysis say about collecting data from healthy patients: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost-effectiveness_analysis

TIL the ROC curve applies to medical tests.
